There has been much discussion as to who invented this instrument and when, but an Italian named Bartolomeo Cristofori was experimenting with the pianoforte in the early 1700 ’ s.
Ir daudz diskutēts, kurš ieviesa šo instrumentu un kad, bet droši var teikt, ka 18. gadsimta sākumā pie šī instrumenta konstrukcijas uzlabošanas strādāja itālietis Bartolomeo Kristofori.
