No, it uses strings, so it is actually a stringed instrument I believe.
I too like the piano a lot.
"Technically" it is a percussion instrument because the hammers strike the strings.

i'm curious here since it's being brought up. how exactly do you define a piano as a percussion instrument? if it's only the fact the the hammer is striking the strings, that would also make a fair amount of lap guitars a percussion instrument. and hammer notes on a standard guitar would also turn that into a percussion instrument as well. now consider not all pianos use a hammer , some use a quill that plucks the string, granted their all very old models but they are still pianos none the less, and the piano itself is classified as a type of harpsichord. then you come to the electric piano, no hammer, no strings, is it still a percussion instrument or string instrument?
so really where does a piano fall? kinda seems to fall in between classifications to me....
Guitar.....hands down. Even moreso if it's played by one of the greats.
A piano is a percussion instrument since the hammers hit the strings. They are not bowed, plucked, or strummed.
LOL, I think it's favorite instrument...
Mine would be Electric Guitar hands down..some guitar riffs are more moving than a alot of drum grooves to me
