What is this piano made of?

Pedal, tuning nail, piano, sound damper, piano bag, castanets and keys.

1. Pedal: refers to the pedal under the piano. It is the most important accessory in the piano except the keyboard. It was invented by Christopher, an Italian musical instrument manufacturer, when he reformed the piano in171.

2. Tuning nail: a nail bolt that can be twisted and rotated with a special wrench. Its turntable is specially made of high carbon steel, with a lock, and the strings can be firmly wound on the pin shaft, which can maintain and stabilize the pitch for a long time under the action of high-strength tension of the strings.

Qin: It is covered with high-quality felt or flannel. Because this "skin" is mostly made of wool, it is also called wool hammer. It is attached to the key. When the keys are pressed, the hammer will knock off the strings and make the piano sound through the vibration of the strings. Therefore, its function is to strike the strings fastened by the tuning nails.

4. Sound isolator: The sound isolator is attached to the strings to stop the vibration of the strings. For example, if you press the keys on the piano, the hammer inside the piano will strike the copper strings and make a sound through the vibration of the strings.

5. Qin gallbladder: Qin gallbladder is connected with keys and hammers, which is the soul of the whole piano and the most important accessory.

6. castanet: castanet is a large metal steel plate, which is located at the back of the piano, connected with tuning nails and clings to the strings. When the strings are vibrated to make sound, the castanets will double the sound, that is, the sound will be reflected and amplified through the castanets.

7. Keys: The whole key consists of black keys and white keys.

The origin of the piano:

The first piano in the world was made in Florence by Italian Christopher 17 10, and it was named "Weak Strong" at that time. Later, almost all languages called Piano piano, which is the abbreviation of Piano e forte. Piano is called piano in Chinese, which is a China name.

Just because the original name of the piano is "weak and strong", it has been explained that players can play the changes and contrasts of Doricchi degrees of weak, strong, weak and strong at will, which is the fundamental difference between the pronunciation principle of the piano and the ancient piano.

This difference is of great significance to the development of piano performance art and the promotion of piano music creation, which has been confirmed by the history of piano music in later generations. Christopher's great contribution lies in this.

The hardest part is actually in the beginning Although the piano he made is very different from grand piano and upright piano, which we are familiar with today, the piano was born by Christopher. In the following hundreds of years, it was constantly improved by countless skilled craftsmen from all over the world in terms of shape, structure, material, range, timbre and volume, and it became what it is today.
