each key is connected to what is called a hammer. It kind of looks like a hammer, but it has padding on it so it doesn't damage the strings. when a key is struck, the hammer falls and briefly strikes a string in the piano which is tightened so that when it vibrates, it lets off a certain pitch. BTW, each key also has a separate string, just in case i wasn't clear on that... electic pianos have the pitches from a regular piano recorded... hitting a key is just like hitting a key on a computer pad- it is connected to the digital pitch and plays it when struck.
