For one thing, "string instruments" and "stringed instruments" are not the same. String instruments are the viol family and stringed instruments are any instrument that has strings. The piano and harp both qualify.
Now, the piano is a percussion instrument that has strings and the harp is an unbowed stringed instrument.
