I really enjoy the piano.  The word actually comes from pianoforte in the 1700s
Yes, I learned that just a couple of days ago. I thought that was really interesting.
The instrument was actually invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori.  
That is really cool. I love to listen to people play the piano.
Piano
The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. 
The word piano is a shortened form of "pianoforte", the Italian term for the early 1700s versions

So I got it out to listen to it again, wondering if I would enjoy it, but actually I really loved it. All I did at first was just listen to a couple of things and then I began to think, 'OK, I like that track – now, what is wrong with it
