This musical instrument is called Piano.
A piano is both a percussion instrument and a string instrument. Inside a piano, tiny hammers strike strings to make pitches. It is a string instrument in that the strings are what vibrate to make the sound, but it is a percussion instrument in that it has a keyboard and strikes to make sound.
The best known example of this is simply the piano. The sound produced by a piano is made by the action of small felt hammers which strike the strings.
The acoustic keyboard has a serious of hammers that hit strings causing vibrations that make sound. Electric keyboards generate identical sounds via electrical waves.
A piano is technically a tuned percussion instrument, because its sound is made by hammers hitting strings. The above is wrong. There is a fifth family: "The Keyboard".
The answer to this could be "orchestra bells" - the metal bars are lying on a horizontal plane and they are hit with a variety of mallets, hammers, etc. - but more probably the answer you want is "chimes" which are metal tubes, not bars, and they are hit with hammers.
