Honestly, I don't know. If I said a second, would that help? Remember that when the piezo is hit hard there is no delay between the switches. Your question is about the delay when the piezo is hit softly. Right?

Well, I thought you might know how slowly you can press the velocity-sensitive switch that you are presumably trying to replace. I have a circuit designed and simulated, and I will make it adjustable for you, but I still have to put limits on the adjustments.

OK. More details: You will need an op amp package in addition to the LM339. Would you prefer to use a common part like TL072, which needs both positive and negative power supplies, or would you rather be able to stick to a single supply, but use a more exotic rail-to-rail op amp such as LMC6482?

Here is the circuit I designed and simulated. I don't know what the output amplitude of your piezo is, so mods may be required on the input.
I started another version that used an op amp for the integrator (ramp generator). It would probably be comparably complex if I were to finish it.
