i play piano.
[{"role": "system", "content": "The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. The word \"piano\" is a shortened form of \"pianoforte\", the Italian term for the early 1700s versions of the instrument, which in turn derives from \"gravicembalo col piano e forte\" and \"fortepiano\". The Italian musical terms \"piano\" and \"forte\" indicate \"soft\" and \"loud\" respectively, in this context referring to the variations in volume (i.e., loudness) produced in response to a pianist's touch or pressure on the keys: the greater the velocity of a key press, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the strings, and the louder the sound of the note produced and the stronger the attack. The first fortepianos in the 1700s had a quieter sound and smaller dynamic range. An acoustic piano usually has a protective wooden case surrounding the soundboard and metal strings, which are strung under great tension on a heavy metal frame.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I really want to get into learning the piano, since it seems like such a cool instrument and it sounds great.

I think some other keyboard-type instruments preceded the piano, didn't they?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well actually, the name \"piano\" originates from the word \"pianoforte\", as this was an earlier version of the piano which was very similar to its current version."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes perfect sense.  Do you know if older people can learn the piano as well as kids?  I feel like maybe it's too late."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Oh, it absolutely isn't too late for that! It is certainly easier when you are young, but it's better late than never!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "How much does a piano cost I wonder"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They can get pretty pricey if it's a good quality one or even a vintage one from the earlier days that they were created back in the 1700's."}]
