In 1700, the harpsichord was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori of Italy. It was similar to the modern-day piano we know with keyboards activating the strings. It was initially named "clavicembalo col piano e forte," but was later renamed piano. Slowly, the instrument underwent several changes from 1790 to 1860. Today, modern-day pianos come with a powerful tonal range of seven octaves.
