Hi! For my blog challenge this week I will be telling you more about the piano.

The piano is a beautiful instrument that produces a variety of sounds. In fact, the piano actually has 88 black and white keys. It also has the widest range of tones of all the instruments. A piano can play a note lower than the lowest note on the double-bassoon and a note higher than the higher note of piccolo. That’s an entire orchestral range in one instrument! The piano is an incredibly intricate instrument. It has 12,000 parts out of which 10,000 of them are moving. Up until the 1950s, most of the keys in a piano were made out of elephant trunks. But, in order to protect elephants, now piano keys are are made out of plastic. That’s it! I hope that this post expanded your knowledge of the Piano. Thanks for reading, bye!
