A tangent mechanism, when referred to in a tangent piano, strikes the string and remains in contact with that string to set the pitch at which it vibrates, unlike the hammer of the modern pianoforte which is padded and is designed to rebound off of the string it strikes. This is also unlike the harpsichord which used a mechanism to pluck the strings.
