The invention of the piano happened several decades before the introduction but grew in popularity as composers and performers fell in love with the sound. Vienna and London each hosted a large school of piano. The original pianos were large in size but as the instrument aged it started to be reproduced in an assortment of variations.

The upright would make the option of having a piano in the home possible.

The 19th century the piano would grow more powerful and also become a primary source of entertainment. Learning to play the piano became part of childhood education. The United States would become a major producer of pianos with Philadelphia, Boston and New York would all be major centers.
