timpani
A LOT of percussion instruments can play more than one note... timpani steel drums, or pans marimba glockenspiel the Drumbone (a creation of the Blue Man Group)
They have to be hit to make sound.
Yes. You hit it to play it, and it vibrates.
If you are playing a wind instrument, you don't tongue between the notes. If you are playing some sort of percussion instrument you lengthen the note.
Like the piano, the Harpsichord is a percussion instrument because the sound is produced by striking.
A percussion instrument is any instrument in which the sound is achieved by a striking action (thus the name 'percussion'). The steel drum is struck with rubber mallets to produce the tone, and different spots in a drum correspond to different notes. The bigger the spot, the lower the tone.
The xylophone is a percussion instrument that produces a definite pitch. It consists of wooden bars of different lengths that are struck with mallets to produce specific musical notes.

Pitched percussion instruments produce definite pitches or notes when struck, such as a xylophone or marimba. Unpitched percussion instruments do not produce specific pitches and are typically used for rhythmic purposes, like a snare drum or cymbals.
Yes. You hit it to play it, and it vibrates.
An instrument that doesn't have different pitched notes, such as un pitched percussion like the drums, bongos, but NOT percussion like xylophone because it has different PITCHED notes like C,D,E etc.

Yes. Although there are pitches within the bells of the instrument, it is still categorized as percussion. Think of the "steel drum".. it is a percussion instrument with high-pitched notes affiliated. When something is used in the sense of rhythm, or when something is struck with a stick, mallet or hammers, it is considered a percussion instrument. The xylophone, kalimba and even the piano are also percussion instruments. Hope this helped.
Pitched percussion instruments include examples such as the xylophone, or the glockenspiel, both of which of defined note values that you hit. That is, you can play a "C", "D", "E" etc on a glockenspiel or xylophone, but you do not have partiulcar notes for, say, a drumkit or cymbal set. These are unpitched. The quick way to know if an instrument is pitched is to find out if you are hitting a particular note, or set of notes on the instrument. If you are, it's pitched. If not, it's unpitched.
The piccolo produces the highest notes.
Piccolo
The piccolo is the highest wind instrument. A whistle might be able to get higher.
I just checked its tuned percussion (85%sure). writen by lindi :)
