Their sound is produced by hammers striking the strings. Sébastien Erard made his first square piano in Paris in 1777, and in 1780 founded a company to produce them commercially. The painting on the exterior was added after manufacture. The crossbanding of the unpainted case case can be seen underneath the paint. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-14265 adlib-term-14265 b9f6d73e-26ce-3588-a519-976c2cc93f7f Louis XVI reference term-129470 adlib-term-129470 8353db27-fba9-33c1-94a1-f268fd2a2d21 literal France France country Paris Depth in 22 Height in 30 3/4 Width in 58 3/4 reference term-93300 adlib-term-93300 b3098ff2-565f-3db0-b03d-115850df4ad1 square piano history note H.
