The piano is not a category of percussion; it is classified as a keyboard instrument. While it produces sound through hammers striking strings, it falls under the category of chordophones, not percussion. In contrast, percussion instruments generate sound primarily through being struck, shaken, or scraped. Examples of percussion instruments include drums, tambourines, and cymbals.
