The origin of the piano can be traced back to 18th century Italy. A stringed-instrument, the piano is one of the most popular and well-known musical instruments. Many students starting as young as the age of two take piano lessons. It is a popular instrument in jazz music and classical music. Our piano charm depicts a baby grand piano with the lid open, and the 88 keys ready to be played. This highly-detailed charm is hand cast in authentic pewter. This makes a great gift for the pianist in your life.
