Is the piano a national instrument or a western instrument?

Piano belongs to western musical instruments. The piano consists of 88 keys (52 white keys and 36 black keys) and a metal chord board, and is known as the "king of musical instruments". Italian Roberto Romeo Christopher (1655- 173 1) invented the piano in 1709. The 88-key piano has a range from A0 to C8, and the range of 108 is as high as B8, which covers almost all the tones in the music system. It is the instrument with the widest range except the organ. Piano is widely used in solo, ensemble and accompaniment performances. The predecessor of piano is harpsichord, also called harpsichord. It is basically the same as the internal principle of a piano. A soundboard and many taut strings are installed inside the piano body. The difference is that the hammer of a piano strikes the strings, while plucking an ancient piano plucks the strings with a feather plucker. In addition, there is a keyboard instrument of the same clan as them-the clavichord, which is also an instrument equipped with a percussion device, making sounds with a copper hammer; It was not as widely used as plucked clavichord, and was mainly used in aristocratic families at that time. 17~ 18 century, the clavichord played a very prominent role in the music life at that time, which can be said to be the heyday.
