Prepared Piano. A prepared piano is a piano that has had its sound altered by placing objects between or on the strings. The first composer to use it extensively was John Cage, who is often credited with inventing the instrument.Cage himself said he was greatly inspired by Henry Cowell's experiments with the so called string piano, where the performer plucks and scrapes the strings of the piano directly.y placing the preparation between two of the strings on a note which has three strings assigned to it, it is possible to change the timbre of that note by depressing the soft pedal on the piano (which moves the hammers so they strike only two strings instead of all three).
