A piano with metal plates would be more akin to a celesta. The celesta produces sound by striking metal plates with hammers, creating a bell-like tone, similar to how a piano uses hammers to strike strings. In contrast, an organ uses air to generate sound through pipes, and a harpsichord plucks strings with quills, making them distinct from both a piano and a celesta.
