piano
A piano is both a percussion instrument and a string instrument. Inside a piano, tiny hammers strike strings to make pitches. It is a string instrument in that the strings are what vibrate to make the sound, but it is a percussion instrument in that it has a keyboard and strikes to make sound.
The best known example of this is simply the piano. The sound produced by a piano is made by the action of small felt hammers which strike the strings.
The acoustic keyboard has a serious of hammers that hit strings causing vibrations that make sound. Electric keyboards generate identical sounds via electrical waves.
A piano is technically a tuned percussion instrument, because its sound is made by hammers hitting strings. The above is wrong. There is a fifth family: "The Keyboard".
The answer to this could be "orchestra bells" - the metal bars are lying on a horizontal plane and they are hit with a variety of mallets, hammers, etc. - but more probably the answer you want is "chimes" which are metal tubes, not bars, and they are hit with hammers.

yes, and the hammers jammed a lot.

Believe it or not, the Piano is a Percussion instrument, like the drums. This is because the Piano works by tiny hammers hitting strings when you press down on the keys. If you open a piano and look into it whilst you play, you can see the hammers hitting the strings, and causing them to vibrate; giving off the note.

It depends actually. There are 3 possibilities here. 1) percussion because the hammers in a piano hit the strings to make the music 2) strings because the hammers hit the strings so it's not the hammers making the music but the strings 3) keyboard because now not all people can agree on percussion or strings so they gave it its own category. Also they have keyboards which don't have strings or hammers Personally though, I like calling it a percussing or a strussion. :)
