Yes. By definition, a percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound when it or any part of if is hit, plucked or striked, which sets the object into vibration. Since the clavichord's sound is produced by the strike of strings by a metal piece at the end of the keys, it fits the definition nicely.

Clackers are more of a toy than a Musical Instrument but In percussion or music in general, Anything is possible. If you would use a Clacker then it would pretty much be considered as a Percussion instrument.

Chordophones are Instruments that produce sounds through the vibration of strings but there are Chordophones that are also percussion instruments, and example of this is the Piano. A piano has strings inside, and thats what produces the sound. But to make these strings vibrate, little hammers inside the piano strike it whenever we press down on keys. This is why the piano is a Stringed instrument but at the same time, it is considered as a Percussion instrument.

No, a percussion instrument is one that you beat on, like a drum, a xylophone, or a piano.

A Clarinet is a member of the woodwind family.

Is the clarinet a reed instrument?

Definately not. The clarinet is part of the woodwind family, which is characterised by a reed on the mouth piece, disregarding the flute, which vibrates when blown across to produce tuned sound. Percussion instruments are typically struck with either the hand or with the appropriate stick to produce sound, and most are untuned. A drum is an example of a percussion instrument: it is played by striking the skin with a drum stick or with the hand. A clarinet is not.
