Piano strings are made of steel wire.
Hammers made of wood and felt.
"Piano strings" and "piano wires" are terms often used interchangeably, referring to the same component in a piano. The strings or wires are made of high-tensile steel and are responsible for producing sound when struck by the piano hammers. The term "strings" emphasizes the musical nature of this component, while "wires" highlights the material's strength. The strings or wires vary in thickness and tension, determining the pitch of each note. Modern pianos typically use a combination of plain steel and wound steel strings. So, in essence, there is no substantial difference between piano strings and piano wires—they refer to the same essential element in a piano.
No. The shorter the piano strings, the higher the pitch (notes).
A piano does not have a fixed number of strings, but varies by the model and manufacturer. As a rule, a piano can have between about 216 and 250 strings, with the most being in the concert grand pianos. The multiple strings per note improve the tonal quality of the notes.
The piano originated from the harp. Some guy decided to hit the strings with a little hammer and made a hammer for each of the strings. Now, when you hit a button, it strikes the string and makes a noise. A harpsichord was also invented like a piano except with plucking.
Because It is the vibration of the strings inside the piano that produces the sound of the piano.

The piano makes sounds by little hammers inside of it drumming on the different pitched strings. these strings have different pitches because each of the strings has a different tension put on it. Therefore, the sound it makes is the sound of metal strings being hammered by little wooden mallets. - by Popeker

As on any other stringed instrument, the treble strings on a piano are the string that play the high notes. As on any other stringed instrument, the treble strings on a piano are the string that play the high notes.
both because piano uses strings but to make it sound hammers inside the piano hit the strings as you press the key
yes
It is. It's considered both string and percussion because of the mallets that strike the inside of the piano to make sound (percussion), and the strings inside of the piano (strings).
Yes. I had a piano tuned to A-flat major. I purchased an old piano with old rusty strings. The piano tuner was afraid that if he tuned the piano to a 440 A that the strings would break. So instead he tuned the A Sharp to 440. As a result the A was tuned to A flat. Eventually, I replaced the strings and another tuner pulled the strings up so that the A was 440. He did it gradually.
Pianos are a percussion instrument with strings. Inside the piano are dozens of wires or "strings", the number varies with each piano. These strings are tightened to a specific point, or "tuned". When a key on the piano is pressed, it swings a small wooden hammer with a metallic striking surface inside the piano. These hammers strike the strings, which causes them to vibrate, creating the sound.
