Usage notes
Although de Klavier is the commoner word in all contexts, it would not be unusual to say of a renowned pianist:
de Er ist ein Meister am Piano. He’s a master of the piano.
However, it would be likely to sound odd if the word were used in non-professional contexts, such as referring to a piano in one’s living-room or to one’s child’s piano lessons.
