Is a piano stringed or percussion?

Yes! The piano is both a percussion instrument and a string instrument. Sound is created when a pianist strikes a key, which causes a hammer to hit a string. Because the hammer hits the string, it is considered percussive.Yes it is considered as a Perscussion instrument due to the hammers that hit the strings inside the piano to produce vibration on the strings that cause it to make sounds.Certainly it is not a stringed instrument or by the same logic a cymbal would be a brass instrument.Technically the piano can be classified as a percussion instrument, because the sound is made from hammers 'hitting' strings, which vibrate and produce specific notes. In this case, it can be grouped with instruments such as the xylophone, or timpani. However, the harpsichord, although similar, is not classified as a percussion instrument as the strings are plucked, rather than hit.Keyboard instruments are numbered among the percussion instruments in Orchestras and bands, not so much because of their mechanisms, but because it is easier than trying to associate them with multiple sections. Sometimes, this leads to inverted definitions, such as:Yes, since the hammer strikes the string to produce sound, it is technically a percussion instrument. Other variations such as the Harpsichord are not though, since the string is plucked rather than struck.While this is true of the piano when it is used as a percussion instrument, with sharp chords or percussive playing of musical lines, the piano is capable of great versatility, and can be considered as a solo instrument, a section unto itself, part of the percussion section, or part of no section at all. In St. Saens Symphony #3, called the "Organ Symphony", the piano is most often treated as a harmonic instrument, sometimes as a soloist, and sometimes as percussion. In cases where the Piano does not serve a clearly percussive function, it is better to consider it as not belonging to a section, per se, like the Harp or the Saxophone: an instrument added to the orchestra without becoming a permanent part.There are other instruments which are played similarly to the Piano, with the three-two sharp/flat groupings within a natural scale of seven notes (before the repeating octave). These include the Celeste, Marimba, Xylophone, Vibraphone, Orchestra Bells, Chimes, and Organ. While the Celeste is generally considered part of the percussion section, and placed within the bounds of the percussion instruments, and the others named (minus the Organ) use mallets held by percussionists and used to strike the tonal bars or tubes of the instrument, the Organ is generally not considered a percussion instrument.Two others are worthy of mention: the Harpsichord and Clavichord, which use the same keyboard arrangement as the piano. The Clavichord strikes strings with a metal tangent when the key is pressed, but is so quiet that it is not used except as a solo instrument (usually in a small, quiet room). The harpsichord was the mainstay of harmony and rhythm in late Renaissance and Baroque orchestras, lasting in orchestral performance until the piano replaced it. Neither of these would be considered part of the percussion section, not because of their method of sound production nor their keyboards, but rather because the Harpsichord would only appear with a modern symphony under very special conditions, and the clavichord wouldn't be bothered with, at all.

What percussion instrument do Latin musical groups use?

Samba percussion instrumentsI'm not an expert but played percussion in a percussion ensemble (in the UK) for a couple years and we did a couple of sambas (which are v Latin American - i think samba originated in Brazil). The instruments we used included tambourine (like a tambourine but without the jingles and played with a special stick in quite a skilled way), shakers, snares, cowbells, surdos (massive drums you can hang round your neck on big straps played with big mallets usually), oh and a ?sp repinique or something like that... I THINK that was a drum i played but can't remember exactly what... there was also this really strange instrument you played with a cloth and it made a weird squeaky sound but i can't remember what it was called.... and probably loads else besides, they literally have a TON of stuff but i just can't remember it all!
