A piano is a musical instrument classified as a keyboard, percussion, or string instrument, depending on the system of classification used. Playing the piano is widespread in western music for solo performance, chamber music, and accompaniment, and is popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal.
The piano produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers. Vibrations are transmitted through the bridges to the soundboard.
The word piano is a shortened form of the word pianoforte, which is seldom used except in formal language and derived from the original Italian name for the instrument, gravicèmbalo col piano e forte (literally harpsichord with soft and loud). This refers to the ability of the piano to produce notes at different volumes depending on how hard the keys are pressed.
