The harpsicord is the father of the piano (forte). It is a percution instrument, because you hit the keys, but the sound wave comming out has the quality of a string instrument, which is very important for the harmonics of the harpsicord. Generaly, anything you can do on a piano, you can do on a harpsicord as well.
How sounds are produced by instruments?
the simplified answer is that when the string is plucked or the bow is pulled across the string(s), it cause the string(s) to vibrate. The length and thickness of the string as well as the resonance of the instrument determines the wavelength and therefore determines the pitch of the sound produced. other factors that can affect the sound are the material the string is made of as well as the material of the instrument itself.

What musical instrument can belong to two different instrument families?
The piano can belong to two different instrument families, this is due to the way the sound is produced. It can be considered a percussion instrument because it uses a mallet to hit a string to produce the sound. On the other hand, it can be considered a string instrument because a vibrating string is what actually produces the sound.
