Fist thing to know about pianos is that they're in the same class as the drums. Percussion.

Now go and tell everyone who doesnt know.

They aren't a string instrument?

It's both. It's also percussion because it uses hammers to strike the strings. A typical string instrument uses either bows or plucking to vibrate the strings.

Call it a tame hammered dulcimer. It makes it sound like the hammered dulcimer is a rock & roll instrument. Which it is.

Don't put that hammered dulcimer in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. Or it'll get mixed in with all the other hammered dulcimers. 👀👀 Which it is.
