Piano .

The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard that produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers.

The piano is widely used in Western music for solo performance, chamber music, and accompaniment.

The word piano is a shortened form of the word pianoforte, which is seldom used except in formal language and derived from the original Italian name for the instrument, clavicembalo [or gravicembalo] col piano e forte (literally harpsichord with soft and loud).

percussions-castanets
1)Tuned instruments play specific pitches or notes, just like the woodwind, brass and string instruments.
2)Castanets consist of two pieces of hard wood in the shape of a shell that are hinged together.
3)When the wood pieces strike each other, they create an untuned sound that is often associated with Spanish dances.http://www.soundclip.com/index.php?q=castanets&searchbutt=search&afdt=Bdry2ogaK1wKEwj_ycyF7IiRAhUCaZYKHTx-WdwYAyAAMMis0A84CEC81JbVvJ_CoXw.

Guitar-string

Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in blues, country, flamenco, rock music, and many forms of pop. There is also a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body, or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 20th century and continue to have a profound influence on popular culture.

A violin is sometimes informally called a fiddle, no matter what kind of music is played on it. The word "violin" comes to us through the Romance languages from the Middle Latin word vitula, meaning "stringed instrument";[1] this word may also be the source of the Germanic "fiddle".

A person who plays the violin is called a violinist or fiddler, and a person who makes or repairs them is called a luthier, or simply a violin maker

Percussion
The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard that produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers.

The hammers immediately rebound allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency.

These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a soundboard that amplifies them.
