The black keys are not accidentals - accidentals are notes which are not in the current scale being played, so can be any note on the keyboard.

The 88 Key Piano was actually invented by Steinway. A German Immigrant to America who started what is now the Steinway factory in Astoria, Queens, NYC. You can actually tour the facility. It’s amazing how pianos are made. I play the piano - amateur to say the least - and I can tell you that there is nothing like a Steinway.

The black keys are not for accidentals, which can occur in any given scale, melody or harmony/chord. They are for the all the other scales other than C major, which have sharps or flats, but because of the scale formula, needs a black key to be played on that scale/key.

The piano is technically a percussion instrument not a string instrument; the strings are struck with a hammer, whereas on a string instrument the string is either plucked (like the harpsichord, or pizzicato on the violin / cello etc) or bowed (violin / cello / viola etc)
