Best Answer

Piano is considered both percussion and strings.

Percussion because of the mallets having to hit the strings

Strings because of the wire inside being struck to create the noise.

All can be considered as a percussion instrument but the Chordophone is not really a "Main" category in percussion. The two major category in percussion are Membranophones and Idiophones but there are chordophones that can be considered as a percussion instrument. An example of this is the piano. It produces sounds by its strings so its a chordophone but the strings are hit by little hammer so that they would vibrate and produce sound.
