Percussion instruments are instruments that can be tuned or not but tuned instruments are tuned.
the difference is that a tuned percussion instrument gives is a nice vibrant sound when on the other hand an percussion instrument that's not tuned either gives it a flat papery sound or just an annoying echo
The same as the difference between a tuned and un-tuned wind instrument or string instrument.
Percussion instruments such as timpani, xylophones, marimbas, vibraphones, bells, or chimes which have a definite pitch.
They have to be hit to make sound.
Instruments like timpani, marimba, vibraphone, and steel drums are examples of percussion instruments that can be tuned to specific pitches. These instruments can produce musical notes with varying frequencies by adjusting the tension or size of the material being struck.
The timpani is a percussion instrument that can be tuned with a foot pedal.
A tuned instrument can play a tune, but an untuned instrument can only play a rythm.
