Hi readers,

Did you know March 29th is World Piano Day? To help celebrate the holiday this year, we’ve put together some fun facts for you. Take a look!

• The piano was invented over 300 years ago
• Piano Day is celebrated on the 88th day of the year because that’s how many keys there are on a piano
• Pianos can have over 12,000 different parts
• The largest piano ever built was almost 20 ft (6 m) long – thats about the size of a giraffe!
