What's inside a piano?

The interior of the piano never fails to amaze me. Every time the tuner comes in for the half-yearly tuning, I would stand by to stare at him doing his job. A piano looks so sleek and simple, yet the interior is so complex. I read that a piano is made up of ... 100 parts?


Surprisingly, a white key looks like this - the whole chunk of it. I always imagined that it's just the white portion.
