This piezo mic stuff sounds fascinating! I did check out: http://www.floraberlin.de/soundbag/sbdownloads/piezos.pdf which has a lot of the basics. Any further suggestions on websites for a piezo disk mic primer? They look appealing for the novice electrician (me). To what level of mic sophistication can they be taken...like, could I attach one to my flute? |: David :| > >How about sticking a contact(piezo) mic to the side of the > >tank? > > > >I just started experimenting with a disassembled Radio Shack > >piezo electric buzzer, and it was childishly easy to turn it > >into a microphone.
