Piano Music Instrument Anime Drawing
The piano is one of the most well known musical instruments. I tried learning it a bit, but I was very distracted. I did used to see it often in my choir classes.

It became quite commonplace in all recording studios, by the 1920s. It was eventually displaced when record companies switched to electric microphones. The instrument itself was expensive back in the old days. It was typically used...
