The '''piano''' is a ~~percussion~~ instrument, in which an action of felt-covered hammers strike strings stretched on a metal frame attached to a resonant soundboard.

The '''piano''' is a percussive [[keyboard]] instrument, in which an action of felt-covered hammers strike strings stretched on a metal frame attached to a resonant soundboard.

The history of the piano is closely intertwined with the standardization of [[~~12-EDO~~]] in the West. The development of steel frames with precision machining gave them the necessary capacity to hold the high level of tension (~~18-30~~ tons) to remain in tune reliably over time.

The history of the piano is closely intertwined with the standardization of [[12edo]] in the West. The development of steel frames with precision machining gave them the necessary capacity to hold the high level of tension (18–30 tons) to remain in tune reliably over time.

The piano can be used to play microtonal music in a variety of ways. A single piano's strings can be retuned; due to the risk of breaking strings, this is generally subject to a maximum of +/- 50 cents on each pitch.
