The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700, in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings.

Eldee Young was a jazz double-bass and cello player who performed in the cool jazz, post bop and rhythm and blues mediums.

The double bass, or simply the bass, is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra.
