The first keyboard instruments were found in ancient Rome. It was callled the hydraulis, and was basically a water-powered organ. It had to be pumped by another person to maintain pressure, and was used to accompany gladiator matches. Experts also believe that Nero did not play the fiddle as Rome burned, but instead the hydraulis. Sadly, no complete hydraulis have survived. The last whole one was lost in a Turkish raid on Constantinople around 500 AD. The oldest playable keyboard instrument is the organ at Sion in Switzerland. It dates from the 1430s and, despite Victorian additions, contains 12 original pipes.
