Best Answer

Piano is from the Percussion Family.

Other instruments in that family are:oCelesta

oHarp

oTimpani

oSnare

oSymbols

oGlockenspiel

The Percussion Family is more international than any other section in the orchestra. Just look at the variety of instruments!

With most instruments in the Percussion Family people don't know who invented them or when. In ancient drawings it shows a timpani or African drums being played. But still, no one really knows.
