I always wondered why? Piezos are much cheaper than FSRs (at least  
when bought in small quantities). Also, FSRs obviously don't last  
forever. According to alternatemode, the sensors regularly have to be  
replaced (<http://www.alternatemode.com/help/questions.php? 
questionid=7>).

I once had the chance to play a MalletKat, it's a very fine  
instrument indeed.
