For today’s Maths we were making three dimensional shapes with sticks and blue-tack. In the pictures above, I have displayed the two shapes I made, a cube and a pyramid. Underneath the pictures are the questions we had to answer. Creating the shapes were harder than the question but it was great fun doing it.

Pianos (June 2th 2017)

During the 17th century , some men created a device by the inventor by the name of bartolomeo cristofori and a few other companions. They intended to create an instrument of art. And they did by creating the commonly known modern instrument called the piano. They created it with nothing more than pieces of string and wood and a little amount of iron. They were praised for creating such incredibly instruments. But no one knows who he is. As an inventor his work was greatly kept through the ages but his name is just a silhouette of new and modern pianos. Now companies are copying cristofori's art and making people forget a great inventor . 4/5 of the population that play piano don’t know who created the first piano but play. Only 1/5 of the population (who play piano) know who the first man who created it.

As the era 17th century era ended and the 18th century began continued , the piano was redesigned by many companies , some having theirs as glass one's , other companies having theirs as metal pianos and some staying original. The most well known piano is the wood piano. During the 20th century the piano keys were changed into ivory instead of wood. Most of the new pianos have 88 keys on them with 36 black keys and 52 white keys but the old version of the piano originally had 85 keys in them. According to history , there has been a few pianos that have killed people. One death was caused by a piano making factory when one of their employees skull got crushed by a falling piano and instantly got killed. This is not a joke as there have also been others dieing from vending machines during the years 1978 to 1995 2 people died every year because of falling vending machines , in total 34 people died during that time.


Some presidents have played the piano like richard nixon and harry S truman both play and performed publicly. Richard nixon even had a singer perform with him during his show at the white house. It is also confirmed that the white has a piano and is called the eagle legged piano and as long as 5 metres . To this day people still play the piano , it is used to calm minds and impress people and used in countless events , Famous music companions use pianos to help in their music , like nightcore and NCS both use pianos to increase the sound of the music. So all in all , the piano is a great instrument to play , and is worthy of the title ‘Greatest musical instrument’. I think it still needs a little more upgrades but I shouldn't be criticizing the fine work of bartolomeo cristofori .
