Believe it or not, the Piano is a Percussion instrument, like the drums. This is because the Piano works by tiny hammers hitting strings when you press down on the keys.

If you open a piano and look into it whilst you play, you can see the hammers hitting the strings, and causing them to vibrate; giving off the note.
