Grand Piano 1720 Bartolomeo Cristofori Italian Bartolomeo Cristofori was the first person to create a successful hammer-action keyboard instrument and, accordingly, deserves to be credited as the inventor of the piano. This example is the oldest of the three extant pianos by Cristofori. About 1700 he began to work on an instrument on which the player could achieve changes in loudness solely by changing the force with which the keys were struck. By 1700 he had made at least one successful instrument, which he called "gravicembalo col piano e forte" (harpsichord with soft and loud). His instrument still generally resembles a harpsichord, though its case is thicker and the quill mechanism has been replaced by a hammer mechanism. Cristofori's hammer mechanism is so well designed and made that no other of comparable sensitivity and reliability was devised for another seventy-five years. In fact, the highly complex action of the modern piano may be traced directly to his original conception.

"Savart model" Violin ca. 1819 Ch. Michel The builder of this instrument is presumed to be Ch. Michel whose name appears written in pencil on the inside of the instrument, visible through the treble sound hole. This unknown maker followed the unusual and radical instrument design of French physicist Félix Savart. The unusual trapezoidal-shaped violin design introduced by Savar, was based on the acoustical theories of the German scientist Ernst Chladni, who had studied vibrating plates. In addition to its unusual shape, the Savart design has a flat top and back. Savart published his design in 1819 in the hope that violin builders would make instruments of this type, undoubtedly, Michel used these plans to build this instrument. Technical description: Savart model violin with flat top and back and a trapezoidal-shaped body; top and back of wide-grain spruce;, slot-shaped sound hoes with rounded ends; edge of top and back flush with the ribs; plain maple ribs and neck; neck steeply angled
