I was thinking that the striker would look cooler sweeping over about 100 degrees. I'll try both configurations as the piece isn't due for about a year. :)<div><br></div><div>I figured the response time would not be an issue since software can compensate for the swing time. Just like a real clave player. </div>

<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11px;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);text-indent:0em">The innovation laced through the capital region is impressive, and this first ever Mini-Maker Faire is a chance to connect creative people from all over our region in a celebration of the DIY spirit. A Mini-Maker Faire brings together families and individuals who celebrate Arts, Crafts, Engineering, Food, Music, Sustainability, and Science and those who embrace the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) spirit. At Maker Faire, the focus is on the process of making – not just the finished product.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11px;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);text-indent:0em">The real story here is the curiosity, vibrancy, and passion of the Makers themselves, the people who comprise the rapidly emerging DIY category. Scientists, homemakers, students, automotive enthusiasts, software developers, musicians, crafters of all stripes: individuals and communities of people drawn together by a common delight in the magic of tinkering, hacking, creating, and reusing materials and technologies.</p>
