I went to Radio Shack and did a little butchering myself to make a contact mic...
Piezo Buzzer: $7
1/4" cable: $6
Being able to mic everything from a stand-up bass to a dinner plate: priceless

Brilliant ! You inspire me :)I haven't made an instrument for a while.

I will upload a pic here when I get back home...

Here is the snap, it's a mic from 1970ish and a Piezo that I tried a new way of fitting. I used
a bit from an old inner tyre just to stop the unwanted scratchy sound you get from handling the instrument. It worked very well. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/260781/mics%20ninbot.JPG

Sorry for such a bad photo. The Piezo is held down with 3 brass screws.
