In Reply to: is the piano a wooden instrument? posted by mitsumoto on September 3, 2020 at 14:58:36:
No the piano is not a wooden instrument per se although it may well have many wooden parts including the case. The final wooden framed pianos would have been at around the time of Beethoven and the Broadwood piano of that era. The later development of the piano involved the use of metal frames and that is what we are familiar with. The sound of early wooden framed pianos compared to later metal framed ones is quite distinct.
A concert grand certainly changes the maximum volume available to listeners in accordance with how open the lid is. However what is more important for these forums is how pianos are recorded. The lid is virtually always open or, sometimes, removed.
NB:I am talking about classical music which is the purpose of this particular forum. Ray Charles and juke joints need to be talked about somewhere else.
