Nobuo Yamamoto

[Kristinn Leifsson]

Hi,

I read in the paper that a Japanese pianist, Nobuo Yamamoto, is going to be
playing quote : "the world´s oldest piano"  in Italy later this month.  
They say it´s an early 18th century Cristofori piano forte that the pianist
restored himself.
Do you know whether this is actually THE first piano forte, or is it just a
hype?
