ElectroAcuStick

The ElectroAcuStick is very similar to a traditional rainstick but now the sound can be tuned. The instrument uses a contact microphone to pick up the sound of the rainstick and then sends that information to a Daisy Seed(Electrosmith) which processes the sound and tunes it so you can have control over the pitch.

The Rainstick is made up of 3 pieces

The Cap - holds all of the electronics that deal with sound processing and exporting. sound is exported with an audio transmitter to any system with a 1/8in audio jack input

The Body - is filled with beads and has a contact microphone that pics up all the sounds also on the body are 3 ribbon sensors that let you tune the sounds.

The Foot - holds the battery that powers the electronics in The Cap
