Electronic instruments such as synthesizers, electric pianos, etc. could be considered another group.

While you play them the same way as you do a piano they generate sound in a way that is different from the other four.

Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, and Keyboards

OR

stringed instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, keyboard instruments, and electronic instruments

One could also include voice.
