Italian harpsichord maker, Bartolomeo Cristofori, is generally credited with the invention of the piano. Originally it was called the “gravicembalo col piano e forte”, or “harpsichord.” that plays soft and loud”. The name refers to the piano’s ability to change dynamics according to the amount of pressure applied to the keys which was a quality foreign to the normal plectrum activated harpsichord. Cristofori achieved this effect by replacing the plucking mechanism of the harpsichord with a hammer and a jack escapement capable of striking the strings with greater or lesser force. Our company name is an homage to this musical inventor; the spelling is different – Christofori was a nickname & we made it the name of our piano service.
