Since I'm here to HELP I thought maybe I'd try and explain exactly what you are asking for. Your question was: simile metaphor personification??? By that I'm thinking you do not understand what this means. Therefore here is something that can help. I think it is written very simply.

Similes, Metaphors, and Personification

Introduction
You are going to learn how to create poems in which readers can visualize what you are trying to tell them. To accomplish this, you will use three poetic techniques: similes, metaphors, and personification. The simile and the metaphor always contain two parts, an "X" and a "Y," which are the two things that you are trying to compare. By using metaphors and similes, you help the reader understand what your ideas and feelings are.

X (my love) = Y (red, red rose)

Simile: "My love is like a red, red rose."
Metaphor: "My love is a red, red rose."

Simile
This technique makes a direct comparison between two unlike subjects. The simile always uses the words "like" or "as."

Examples:
Waves crashing on the ocean look like knives.
Sadness falls inside me like the rain.
I wandered lonely as a cloud.
The water looked as smooth as glass.

Metaphor
This technique makes a direct comparison without using "like" or "as."

Examples:
Fog comes in on little cat's feet.
April is my girlfriend's face.
All the world's a stage.
The clouds are cottonballs in the sky.

Personification is a special type of metaphor.

Personification
This figure of speech gives human characteristics to non-human subjects.

"The sun played peek-a-boo with the clouds"

With all this I think you can easily find a way to put the word Piano in your sentence.

Simile:
The sound of the patter of raindrops, like a soft piano, soothes my nerves.

Metaphore:
To what shall I compare the piano; a complex tapestry hanging from the wall of an ancient castle?

Personification:
The piano, a macho guy, sends vibrations all over my body.

Hope this helps!

YOU should do it! I'll give examples.

Simile--uses the words "like" or "as": The coin was AS shiny AS the sun OR The coin was shiny LIKE the sun.

Metaphor--takes the words "like" or "as" out and calls the thing what is comparing it to: The coin was a shiny sun.

Personification makes the inanimate object to life: The seemed to dance as it shined on the table.

Now you do it with "piano."

Her tinny voice was like an aged piano, long overdue for tuning.

He was a veritable piano of a man waddling noisily through the crowded streets.

The piano screamed wildly in protest of Janice's terrible playing.
