Percussion Instruments

For the most part if they have keys like the piano or bells then yes. Timpani are also tuned to certain notes before they are played. Drums though, like snare and bass, do not play different pitches.

Shaker, maracas, and assorted shakers

they make stuff for it so they can but all the part together and paint the part of it it made form instrument and percussion

Most people don't consider it a percussion instrument, as most percussion involves directly striking the surface that makes the sound (thus the definition of percussion), whereas depressing piano keys cause hammers to strike stretched strings. Due to the fact that a Piano has strings, it is usually classified with guitars, harps, and other stringed instruments as a Chordophone. The classification is arguable though, as pianos have many similarities with the xylophone, vibraphone, and marimba, which are considered percussion instruments.

As per my 5th grade music class, it is a percussion instrument and is listed as such in many 5th grade music books.

The second paragraph of Wikipedia's page on Pianos briefly addresses the classification issue (see related link).

Percussion instrument.

Yes ... and ... No.

Although the techniques for playing both are similar, the touch and feel of each is quite different. One is a mechanical instrument and the other is electronic. Read on:

"Keyboard" alone usually makes reference to an electronic instrument that has keys much like an organ or piano, and produces its sound through an amplifier and speaker(s).

"Piano" alone usually makes reference to a percussive instrument that requires physical exertion (energy) to create sounds, the tones from vibrating strings.

Although the sound that each makes may be similar, there is a huge difference between playing a keyboard and playing a piano ... they are not the same.

An "upright grand" piano is simply a big old upright piano. The term was common in the early part of the twentieth century and was intended to infer a sense of higher quality than the rather ordinary term "upright piano" (and was often used by manufacturers of lower quality instruments). "Cabinet grand" was a similar term applied to upright pianos.

I think the bass strings of an upright grand are longer than in plain upright.

everyone could try if you go with your heart

The word piano is borrowed from the Italian word pianomeaning quiet. The musical instrument is a shortened form of another Italian word; pianoforte meaning "both soft and loud". This name comes from the piano's remarkable ability to play both very loudly and very softly.

it's a thing that hits a string and makes the sound. it's like a guitar but the hamer hits the string.

In many people's opinions Yamaha pianos are known for their light touch. Some electric pianos are not touch sensitive and you can adjust the key sensitivity to your liking.

The contrabassoon is related to the bassoon, but is lower in the clef and is the lowest instrument in the band.

I have never heard of them before, but I can tell you that Steinway is the best brand, then K. Kawai, then Yamaha.

The purpouse of a piano is to play music. The piano is a very popular instrument to play and very enjoyable to listen to.

In an octave there are eight white notes, C D E F G A B C. For the black notes there are 6, if you are going from C sharp to C sharp again. Hope this helps. Five black keys per octave is probably a better way to think about it.

You can play percussion instruments with sticks, brushes, rods or play with your hands.

Damper- It is a damper consisting of a small felted block that drops onto a piano string to stop it's vibration.

In other words a damper peddle is the Sustain peddle

Sustain - to hold, to keep going

holding the note further through other notes played

When originally played a small cannon was used for the loud percussion effects within the overture. Timpani have also been used to create the sound of the cannon fire.

It keeps the beat to our favorite music so they don't get out of place.

Drums have also had a bigger impact on our lives, the military march to the beat of the drums, in times of war drums have been used to rouse your own troops and to put fear into the enemy, the Royal Navy "beat to quarters" when a drummer would play the drum to summon the sailors to action stations. Drums have been used as a means of communication by peoples all over the world.

Right up front, I really have no idea. Because of its age its value will be in its style, finish and condition rather than as a musical instrument. Values vary quite a bit. Your piano technician can probably do some checking for you; you will have the serial number of the piano, and your technician knows very well the style and condition. I'd love to see a picture of it, but I don't think that is possible in this forum.
