> have you ever thought of attaching your ribbon controller to a guitar strap to play it standing up instead of sitting down

Yes, I have. At first, I tried to play this like playing the guitar.
But later, I found that the current sitting style is fitter for me, though I am originally a guitarist.

My ribbon is made from rubber black conductive bag which protects
electric parts(like CMOS) from static electricity.

The total resistance of the ribbon is about 500k ohms.
