Abstract
A musical instrument with vibrating rods to generate a sound is provided. The musical instrument includes an acoustic housing having a main body with a first opening and a second opening, a plurality of rods coupled to the acoustic housing and extending beyond the first opening in the main body of the acoustic housing, and a plurality of electromagnetic pickups coupled to the acoustic housing and extending beyond the first opening in the main body of the acoustic housing. The vibration of any one of the plurality of rods enables a corresponding one of the plurality of electromagnetic pickups to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the sound.

A musical instrument with vibrating rods to generate a sound, the musical instrument comprising:
- an acoustic housing comprising a main body with a first opening and a second opening, the housing comprising an internal cavity within the main body extending from the first opening to the second opening;
- a plurality of rods coupled to the acoustic housing, each rod in the plurality of rods extending beyond the first opening in the main body of the acoustic housing;
- and
- a plurality of electromagnetic pickups coupled to the acoustic housing, each electromagnetic pickup in the plurality of electromagnetic pickups extending beyond the first opening in the main body of the acoustic housing;
- wherein a vibration of any one of the plurality of rods enables a corresponding one of the plurality of electromagnetic pickups to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the sound.

- a plurality of rods coupled to the acoustic housing, each rod in the plurality of rods extending beyond the first opening in the main body of the acoustic housing;
- a ferromagnetic cap coupled to the second opening of the main body of the acoustic housing;
- and
- an electromagnetic pickup coupled to the acoustic housing and separated a distance away from the ferromagnetic cap;
- wherein a vibration of any one of the plurality of rods enables the main body of the acoustic housing and ferromagnetic cap to resonate, thereby enabling the electromagnetic pickup to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the sound.
