The Piano That Fits Your Space and Budget

Guest post by Arthur Stone

Sometimes, a full-sized acoustic piano might be just too expensive or too big.

Does this mean you can’t play piano if your space and budget are limited?

Absolutely not. There are other options.

In fact, there are two.

Today, we’ll be looking at these two compact and budget-friendly alternatives to the acoustic piano.

40 years ago, a group of MIT graduates shoved a piano off the roof, onto another piano.

They started a tradition: graduates shoving pianos off the roof.

This year’s piano was shoved off a few days ago– 80 pianos destroyed and counting!

Hit a hammer, pluck a string!

MIT’s engineering pranks might be a tad more exciting than shoving a piano off the roof every year, but hey, where should useless pianos go anyways?

As a side note, the MIT engineers might cringe to see that the piano shoved off the roof didn’t hit the piano on the ground this year.

It’s all good fun, though.

See the action, captured on video, below.

History of Piano What did the piano look like 300 years ago? What about 500 years ago?

I’ll give you a hint: it looks nothing like the modern piano– it was a different instrument altogether.

So what happened? How did the piano start out and how did it come to be the modern piano? I’ll answer these questions below.

Here’s the smart guide to the piano’s history over the years, complete with amazing visuals.
