[PD] Attaching a Sensor to Acoustic Instruments Question

[tim vets]

Maybe it's worth mentioning that you can also work the other way round:
mount a small IR LED on the head of the instrument and track its motion with
a wiimote mounted statically in front of it.
I used this once for tracking a remote controlled robot and it worked fairly
well.
I guess that success will also depend on the type of movements the musician
will make.
The IR LED would need to stay directed to the wiimote all the times.
Also make the LED as omnidirectional as possible...
