They are also percussion instruments

they are more of percussion instruments than string, the way I see it
string instruments are usually plucked or bowed (can't think of a better word), neither of which occurs in a piano

"Pressing a key on the piano's keyboard causes a felt-covered hammer to strike steel strings. The hammers rebound, allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency. These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a sounding board that more efficiently couples the acoustic energy to the air. The sound would otherwise be no louder than that directly produced by the strings. When the key is released, a damper stops the string's vibration."
