When you press a piano key, inside the piano a tiny hammer falls on the string connected to that key. That is what makes the sound of the key (the vibration of the string after it has been struck).

The ironic thing is that its impossible for the piano make a sound with out the strings (seeing as how it is were the sound originates), but since the sound is produced by the hammers striking the strings, it falls under the percussion category.
