The prosthetic conga is a hybrid instrument that is played and heard in the regular way, but with a resonant behaviour that can be manipulated in the virtual domain. This re-alised via sound reinforcement with a loudspeaker inside the conga, and sensing the membrane vibration. While sounding the instrument in this way is relatively simple, achieving precise control over the resonance properties of the hybrid instrument via active control poses a num-ber of technical challenges. This paper discusses these challenges, as well as some of the implications for perfor-mance and composition. 1
