So far the essential principle of the harp has been maintained, for what. ever mechanical jniprovemente Might have been added, the music was made by plucking the strange—filet with the fingers, then by a plectram worked by a lever frofn keys struck by the lin- gers. But about the nildnIti of the eighteenth century a new method ot mnplaying the strings was proposed; Instead ot being pluelted, they Were to be struck by tittle hammers worked by the levers from the liePs Just as the plectram Ina been. This inven- tion is generally credited to an Italian named Cristoforo, who liven in Milan. Aa the violin as we know it was per- fected at Cremona, not many mites away, we see that to a emelt district In Northern Italy belongs the honor of evolving the two print -emit strieged in- strunieuts. Shortly after Cristofortee levention, Erard, a Frenchman, brought out an improved "action," or nteehanicat 'imam for connecting the key and the hammer to tbe best advantage; and his pianos were followed nintoet inn mediately by Melee 01. 1.118 Englishman, Broadwood, one of whose iustrtnnents MIS presented to Beethoven. Though there have of counts been changes in detail, most modern pianos are eon- atructed on the same mechanical flues as those of Erard and Broadwood more than tr century ago.
