Percussion ribbon controller

[Doug Tymofichuk]

Hello, everyone,

Has anybody out there ever seen plans for a ribbon 
controller that you operate like a drum, so that you get 
different notes depending on where you hit it? I am 
thinking of something about two feet long that covers maybe 
two octaves of range. Absolute pitch is not an issue. Some 
type of robust resistive element perhaps?

TIA
