It's a string percussion instrument giving its tones from steel wires which are struck by hammers operated by a keyboard.

The piano is a percussion instrument, but most people think it is a string. Its percussion because of the hammers that hit the strings to cause the sound.

A piano or pianoforte is a musical instrument classified as a keyboard, percussion, or string instrument, depending on the system of classification used. The piano produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers that immediately rebound allowing the string to continue vibrating. These vibrations are transmitted through the bridges to the soundboard, which amplifies them.

A piano is generally considered to be in the percussion family since a hammer strikes a string.

Percussion....because of the fact that the hammers hits the strings/wires....a guitar is also a percussion instrument for the same reason.

Percussion due to the fact that the sound is made when the hammers hit the strings when you press a key.

Percussion.
Trust me, I majored in music in college. It might seem like a string instrument because it has strings, but it's a percussion instrument because the strings are struck by hammers.

its definitely a percussion instrument because a hammer hits the string moving them into vibration

It is a keyboard type. But the xylophone is usually classified as a percussion. Maybe percussion

Its a percussion instrument because it has hammers which hit stings and cause them to vibrate.
