[sdiy] Percussion MIDI controller

[Paul Perry]

If you are using microphones at each end, I think the key
would be to use tube (or rod) material that is as unresonant as possible.
Ideally, a cardboard tube surrounded by hard circular objects
(like bangles) so you avoid problems of the structure resonating.

If it is permitted to have a lead to the mallet, then you could put a
microphone inside the mallet, and use the signal from the mallet 
mic to be one timing signal, and the front edge of the signal from a mic 
at one end of the rod for the other.
