    Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) of Italy is credited with inventing the piano around the year 1700. As a harpsichord maker who was unsatisfied with the lack of volume control in harpsichords, Cristofori developed a mechanism using hammers instead of plucking to create the first piano. His innovation switched out the harpsichord's plucking mechanism for one using hammers striking the strings, creating the precursor to the modern piano. Cristofori is thus considered the inventor of the piano.
