 How is a piano built?  Keyboard (Electric Piano) This is the quickest piano to build. You only need wood, the electrical components, and plastic. It doesn't take that long to produce these pianos in a factory. The wood is cut into pices that have special shapes. When most of the pieces of wood are put together (it's usually the back part that isn't inserted by now) the electrical components are put in. Then the back piece of wood is put in. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿ 'Common' Piano <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿ For a 'common' piano you need: wood, metal and copper strings, filth, black plastic, and white plastic. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">First you cut the wood is cut into shaped pieces. usually these are not painted but they get varnished. After that the plastic is shaped. The white plastic is shaped into larger boxlike things called'keys'. The black plastic is shaped into smaller boxelike thingies that are also called 'keys'. Then the wooden 'case' is put together so far that the metal frame holding the strings and the mechanics withthe filth hammers that hit the strings can be put in. Once everything is inside the piano is tuned. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 105%;">Grand Piano﻿ <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 105%;">It takes more than a year to build a grand piano.
