Abstract:
1. A rod-shaped percussion instrument, comprising: a striking surface made of an elastic material in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above; a sidewall part made of an elastic material and connected with a periphery of the striking surface; a sensor plate which is plate-shaped, made of a hard material in a substantially rectangular shape and comprising long sides and short sides that are elastically supported by an inner circumference side of the sidewall part; and two sensors disposed on a surface side of the sensor plate and detecting a vibration due to striking on the striking surface, wherein the two sensors are connected to electrically combine detection signals respectively detected by the two sensors and output the same, wherein the two sensors are respectively disposed in a predetermined range located on two sides of a center line that extends in a transverse direction through a center of a longitudinal direction of the sensor plate, and wherein the predetermined range is a range between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is away from the center line at ½ of a distance from the center line to an end side of the sensor plate in the longitudinal direction and the second position is away from the center line at ¾ of the distance from the center line to the end side of the sensor plate in the longitudinal direction.
