FYI.... this forum has a "Search" function. If you would use that, you'd see that this has been discussed, oh, about 5 gazillion times.
Anyway to answer your question, I consider it a percussion. Talk to anyone else, and they may consider it a string. You can make a valid case for either one. So ultimately, there is no right or wrong answer, and the debate will continue to rage on for the rest of time.

To me the piano stands alone. Afterall, if it weren't for the piano (and the great virtuoso composers who often accompany it) the orchestra would have nothing to play.
It's ALL in the piano.

The piano is a percussion instrument. The reason is because the keys are depressed which activate a series of hammers or mallets, which "strike" the strings.
