Piano

A piano was a musical instrument invented on Earth. Its sounds were produced by padded hammers striking metal strings. The sound was controlled by a keyboard of 88 keys, typically played by a single operator using both hands.

While pianos could take a number of different shapes and sizes, they were usually built inside large, heavy, wooden cabinets that functioned both as casing and sound chamber. Some of the other materials used in producing a piano were brass, bronze, felt, ivory and ebony.
