The Harpsichord came before the Piano

Do you know that the well known piano has a distant cousin called a Harpsichord?

The beautiful sound of the piano has be “fine tuned” over centuries beginning with this Harpsichord.

The earliest surviving harpsichords were built in Italy in the early 16th century. Little is known of the early history of the harpsichord, but, during the 16th–18th century, it underwent considerable evolution and became one of the most important European instruments. They are similar to the piano in many ways.

the harpsichord has two or more sets of strings, each of which produces different tone qualities. One set may sound an octave higher than the others and is called a 4-foot register, whereas a set of strings at normal pitch is called an 8-foot register, (the length references the string.)
