Happy Birthday to the inventor of the Piano (Actually called Pianoforte or Fortepiano) Bartolomeo Cristofori di Francesco - 04 May - An Italian Music Instruments Maker. The invention is dated back to 1700 while Cristofori was working as the Music Instrument Maker and Custodian at the royal house of the Medici. Piano is a string instrument derived from the Harpsichord and Pipe Organ and used the hammer hit on strings to produce the grand sound - so typical of the Piano.

Yours truly playing the Baby Grand Piano.
Thank You Sir for your great invention. I use the electronic version of your great invention as 'the only music instrument' in my concert format - Vocal Sonata, apparent from my Concert. In all probability - the only one in the world to present a full professional commercial concert in this format.
