With hammers and levers I do not build, but make beautiful sounds within. I have nine thousand parts that keep you in awe, with knuckles and jacks and wippens and such. My bed is made of ebony and ivory that chromatically alters tones. I am strong as my frame is made of ivory and wood, but my beauty is something to behold. Forte is my name, but also means loud. I am loved all over the world and I delight and dazzle all ears within reach, But my respect and happiness lies with the one who plays my keys. Claudia Burton Heather Burton January 20, 1998.
