TheEnglish put in a claim for a monk living in Rome who had made aninstrument resembling Christofori's in 1711 and had brought it toEngland, where it created a profound sensation. This may have been true, but England did little to develop even the harpsichord until long afterContinental makers had achieved marked success in the business. In 1760German workmen to the number of twelve went to London. They were knownas the Twelve Apostles, and it is their descendants who becameidentified with the ...successful development of the piano down to thepresent time.
Very few of the first Christofori pianos have been preserved. One, inexcellent repair, is in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Two are inFlorence, dated 1720 and 1726. They show, beyond a doubt, that he hadanticipated the plan of escapement and hammer checking. Like many otherpioneer inventors, this man died in comparative poverty. Schroeter, theGerman claimant, became a famous maker of instruments. He succeeded inimproving the piano to a large extent.
