Clavichord

古钢琴
古钢琴是现代钢琴发明前的两种键盘乐器之一，主要分为拨弦键琴和击弦键琴。
-17世纪，伴奏需求增大，巴尔托洛奥·克里斯托福里在1709年制造出一种新乐器，即古钢琴，结合了两者的优点，允许音量控制。
-希尔伯曼在1726年制造改进版，并与巴赫互动。
-18世纪后，维也纳式和英国式击弦机的钢琴逐渐发展，前者音质清晰、混响短，后者则声音深厚，触键灵敏度较低。

现代钢琴
现代钢琴在19世纪初逐渐普及，并不断进行改进。
-1780年，瑞士的舒迪发明了制音踏板，提升了和弦连接能力和共鸣效果。
-1809年，法国人埃拉尔改进了机械设计，使小槌能够快速重复击弦，适用于演奏复杂乐曲，这一结构至今仍用于三角钢琴。
-1826年，美国工程师霍金斯通过轴钉、轴架和攀带进一步改进了击弦机构。此外，许多制造者在支撑结构、弦列安排和小槌材料等方面也进行了创新。

Electronic Piano

电钢琴
电钢琴是一种电子乐器，外形与传统钢琴相似，但其发声原理与电吉他相似。它使用机械发声，通过拾音器将声波转化为电信号，而不是通过木箱共鸣。电钢琴的结构与钢琴相同，内部有小木槌敲击钢丝弦，产生振动。但不同之处在于，电钢琴依赖电磁学原理，拾音器感应琴弦振动并产生电流，这些电流通过电子音箱还原为声音。
