There is a fairly recent recording called “Fantasie” by Alexander Melnikov where he plays a number of different keyboard instruments—harpsichord, tangent piano, fortepiano, and modern pianos. It is a very worthwhile recording to seek out.
Piano is just 300 years old? There's more.
I've never seen the evolution of musical instruments referred to or even thought about it myself. Here's the timeline. Enjoy.
