"they used it like a percussion instrument" Because it IS a percussion instrument =_= lol other than that its great :D

@my1972stang

The things is that few people know that the piano is actually a PERCUSSION instrument. Hammers hit the string.

[CaladriaNapea]

@my1972stang Actually, the piano is a string instrument . . . as exhibited by its having strings (it's pretty much a harp on its side).

[JimHxn]

@CaladriaNapea No it's not, it's a tuned percussion instrument.

Compare a glockenspiel to a hammered dulcimer, and you have to say that they're both essentially similar, and thus both percussion. Then comparing a hammered dulcimer with a piano, they're almost the same.

A percussive instrument is struck, whereas a string instrument is stuck or bowed. Some can be used both ways, such as a guitar for example.

It is quite cool though, how a piano is percussion and harpsichord is string...
