A pitched percussion instrument play numerous pitches (i.e. xylophone), while nonpitched percussion instruments play one pitch (i.e. snare drum).
the difference is that a tuned percussion instrument gives is a nice vibrant sound when on the other hand an percussion instrument that's not tuned either gives it a flat papery sound or just an annoying echo
It is a percussion instrument.
A tuned instrument can play a tune, but an untuned instrument can only play a rythm.
Piano is a tough instrument to categorize. Some say "percussion" because you create sound by striking the instrument. Some say "string" because vibrating strings is how the sound is made. If I had to choose between them I'd choose "string instrument" because the reasoning for it being a percussion instrument, IMO, is not very sound. Yes you strike the instrument to make sound, but it's not you making the sound - it's the hammer striking the strings much like the dulcimer. Apply the "percussion" argument to other keyed instruments and you can see more clearly how it's a misnomer. Is the organ a percussion instrument because you're striking the keys? And then there's electronic keyboards - are they percussion instruments? See how we're getting really far out on a limb to rationalize calling piano a percussion instrument. This, and the other examples I gave, is why I like to use "keyboard instrument" as a classification all its own. It allows for an accurate description of how you make sound with the instrument, much like the definition of percussion (striking a membrane or solid object). I like to tell people that if they don't like the idea of "inventing" a new category, then call it a string instrument because that's what it is! :)
the flute has a deeper tone than the guitar

The same as the difference between a tuned and un-tuned wind instrument or string instrument.
It is a percussion instrument.
A tuned instrument can play a tune, but an untuned instrument can only play a rythm.
Percussion instruments are instruments that can be tuned or not but tuned instruments are tuned.
A Symphonic band includes String, Percussion, Brass, and Woodwind players. A wind ensemble wouldn't have any String instrument players.
There is far difference between game and instrument. We play game to overcome the challenges but we play instrument for the enjoyment.
No, a chordophone is not a percussion instrument. Chordophones produce sound by vibrating strings that are stretched between two points, such as a guitar or violin. Percussion instruments produce sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped.

The mechanics of igniting the primary charge
the flute has a deeper tone than the guitar
A glockenspiel is played upright. The player faces the instrument. It can be carried by a band member in a belt holder as he marches around. A xylophone lies flat. The player stands alongside the instrument.
