Sensor for bars of mallet percussion instruments
Pribol, Sebastián ; Balík, Miroslav (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis addresses the issue of capturing melodic percussion instruments using dynamic sensors that can be attached to a musical instrument. It includes theoretical knowledge, analysis, and selection of appropriate sensing methods, and the actual implementation, which consists of testing, integration with MIDI, manufacturing of the device itself, and final calibration and adjustments for proper functionality. The device uses an ESP32-S3 Dev Kit N8R8 microcontroller, which was programmed in the Arduino IDE for proper operation. The device consists of twelve piezoelectric sensors that capture the dynamics of playing the musical instrument and send MIDI information to a DAW via a Bluetooth module.

Marimba evolution and present use
Sokolov, Oleg ; MIKOLÁŠEK, Daniel (advisor) ; HAVLÍK, Jaromír (referee)
The focus of my disseraion is to proces s essential information about the marimba. Due to the fact that there is putrid informaion available about the marimba in the Czech language, I decided to undertake the task of filling in this void with my thesis. The contents of the paper include a succinct and clear history of the musical instrument, followed by main information regarding the top marimba manufacturers, and most notable modern day performers. The work is divided into three major chapters , which are further divided into subsections , together with footnotes and video attachments at the end of work.
