The piano is both a string and a percussion instrument.023In the traditional Hornbostel-Sachs system of categorizing musical instruments, the piano is considered a type of chordophone. However, it falls into the realm of percussion instruments as it uses hammers for striking the strings instead of plucking or moving a bow across them.1Percussion instruments include any instrument that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or scraped.4Examples of percussion instruments include drum kits, tambourines, rainmakers, maracas, and the piano.3The piano is distinct from violins and cellos that are played with a bow, and it's different from guitars or other stringed instruments that are plucked. read less
