That's why,many piano German makers,made design to produce better piano. There is a square form,the string made from metal,etc. In the year of 1800, Joseph Smith from England made piano from metal entirely. Consequently,his piano afford sound more loud and better.

Firstly string tension of 16 tons,now 30 tons. Because that,piano modern afford the great sound which can make us carried away by the beautiful voice.
