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.
