Vibrating Piano Strings

Hi, i'm thinking about using piezo disks for vibrating the strings. But i'm not sure what can i do..

First, i'll put the piezos on the soundboard and then i'll connect the piezos to the amp? Can it work well? If yes, so what kind of amp can i use? Or are there any other possibilities for vibrating it? For example with software (max/msp) can i control piezos for vibrating?

Btw sorry, i'm not very well with the electronics. So i have to ask everything that i'm not sure.

I guess you have not looked inside a piano. It doesn't use weak little piezo transducers, it uses strong hammers to hit the strings hard.

How can a piezo transducer hit a piano string when it barely moves?

Maybe you talk backwards and want to use a piezo microphone to pickup the vibrations of piano strings?
 
I'm trying to find the right way. I want to hear the vibrations of strings and record it. Can i do that with some other possibilities?

Also i've found a video..

Thats what I was thinking, you can not vibrat the strings dirrectly, but need to make the hammers move. Andy
