Actually, I think they classify it under "Keyboard" with Harpsichord, Celesta, Organ, Virginal, Clavichord, etc etc.
And while it IS stationed behind the strings, when I saw it being used at the Symphony, last time I went (then again, their positioning was a bit odd) it was in front of the percussion and behind the strings, so yes, both.

Le Cosmo >3> I am positively, absolutely, not doubting that the Pianoforte is in fact a Percussive instrument. If an old lady that was taught by Rachmoninov says that it is a percussion intrument, I know it is a percussion instrument. Why do we use our fingers to play on it? If you had a Saxophone and you did not blow into it and you just used the keys, by golly it sounds percussive. Rachmoninov > all of our thoughts.
I'm totally with him. Just because it has strings does not mean it is a string instrument. The type of instrument is defined by the manner in which it is played, and the piano's sound is produced by means of mallets, not plucking or bowing.
Besides, Sergei's word is law. 3nodding
