- THE PIANO PAGE--by the Paino
Technicians' Guild--"The piano is an incredible piece
of ingenuity and craftsmanship. While the piano is 300 years old, the basic engineering of
today's piano was done almost 100 years ago and it has changed very little since. This
page is for all piano lovers on the Internet. We hope to be the starting point for
information about the piano. We hope that the new technology of the Internet will help
enhance your enjoyment of this wonderful instrument.
