Many mallet percussion instruments, like the bells, xylo, etc. are pitched. The timp is also pitched, and you have to tune that one. The piano is also a pitched percussion instrument. Many people think that the piano is not a percussion instrument, and that it is a string instrument. This is wrong. The piano uses a type of mallet that hits the pitched piano strings making it a percussion instrument. The harpsichord is like a piano, but uses plucking to strike the strings, making it a string instrument. Actually tom toms are tuned to the preference of the artist, however they are not required to be played at a certain pitch.
It's percussion because the strings are hit with hammers. It can be classified as a percussion or string instrument.The piano is in the percussion family because the sound is generated from little hammers and wires inside. When you press a piano key, the hammer hits the wire, producing sound. The action of the hammer hitting the wire is what classifies it as a percussion instrument, like when hit hit a mallet on a bell kit.
Those without strings, mainly woodwinds, brass and percussion.The piano is in reality a member of the percussion family primarily because of the manner in which is required to produce sound, but has been "accepted" as being part of the string family in many circles.
Both xylophones and timpani are percussion instruments. Both instruments can be found in the percussion section of any professional symphony. At standard percussion auditions, percussionists are required to play etudes on xylophone, timpani, and snare drum.
Depends upon the composer. The composer actually calls out which instrument and how many of each are required to perform his or her work. Generally though, there are the following common sections of an orchestra:Strings (violins, violas, cellos, bass,harp)Brass (trumpets, french horn, tuba etc)Woodwinds (Oboe, Clarinet, bassoon)Percussion (snare drum, timpani, piano)(The piano is a 'stringed' instrument but employs a 'percussive' effort in order to produce sound, so it is a "hybrid" instrument and can be part of the string or percussion family equally)

There are always disadvantages to everything. The C418 was (it is discontinued) a clip-on instrument microphone for drums and percussion. It was quite expensive, did not have a long enough boom to be used with instruments like a saxophone, and it required phantom or bias voltage power to operate.
In a Classical Orchestra, Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass. A Grand Piano is a stringed instrument, and is sometimes played in an orchestra. An Upright(Honky Tonk) Piano is never in an orchestra. NB An (Electric) guitar is not classified as an orchestral instrument.
Not unless it was originally equipped with a catalytic converter which is unlikely. If not, then NO it is not required.
it is an instrument to determine the velocity of flow at required point in a flowing stream.
