Abstract
A rhythm board that is electronically amplified using at least one fixed pick-up unit, though more units may be used, installed internally on a resonator. The pick-up unit may be of the solid contact transducer type, dynamic microphone or condenser microphone type. A more particular embodiment of the present invention provides a hollow rhythm board made of wood and covered by a wooden top and bottom. The top is a sound board for being struck by the foot causing internal vibrations which are transferred to the pick-up via the resonator.
