Claims1
1) A system for detecting acoustic vibrations in a musical instrument, the system comprising:
- a cymbal comprising a plurality of perforations;
- a piezoelectric trigger;
- and
- a trigger mount, the mount comprising a set of fixtures corresponding to one or more of the plurality of perforations, the set of fixtures adapted to receive a set of fasteners for securing the mount and the piezoelectric trigger in physical and mechanical contact with the cymbal;
- wherein the piezoelectric trigger, when secured in physical and mechanical contact the cymbal by the trigger mount, is adapted to convert mechanical vibrations into an electrical signal.
