1. make sure to buy "piezo transducers" and not "buzzers" at radioshaq. the transducers have good wires attached to the disc and soldering wires to the disc is the hardest part.
2. buy the "female" end of the plug and attach that to the wires from your disc. all of the wire that i've tried to attach to contact mics has sucked. if you buy the female plug you can just hook up any of your decent cords to it.
3. pay the extra few dollars and get heat shrink tubing. you hold it over the stove(on low) for a second or 2 and it shrinks to insulate and secure your connections.
A tribute to small futile projects and general random thinking
