The harpsicord is the father of the piano (forte). It is a percution instrument, because you hit the keys, but the sound wave comming out has the quality of a string instrument, which is very important for the harmonics of the harpsicord. Generaly, anything you can do on a piano, you can do on a harpsicord as well.
