In some cases, you might be able to do what they do with grand pianos
and stuff; disassemble the instrument and/or set up things so you can
actually record the sounds you want. (Just hammers hitting something,
a plectrum used on something string-like except with minimal
resonance, that kind of stuff.)
Other than that, the only way is to look at each specific case and try
to figure out how to remove unwanted components from the recorded
sounds...
