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...
