Nevertheless, the first successful piano—made in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori—solved the problems inherent in such simple mechanisms, as well as nearly every other problem facing piano builders until well into the 19th century.
In about 1709 Bartolomeo Cristofori of Florence, Italy, perfected the mechanical action that resulted in what is now known as the piano.
Replacing the harpsichord's mechanism were hammers, usually covered with leather or felt, that struck the strings when activated by a series of keys on a keyboard.
