Michael Fred Johnson said… Sit the pipe where you want to locate it,half fill with hot glue,put in the piezo, fill to the top with more glue.
It's a basic piezo disc from Maplin with twin core screened audio lead replacing the original wires.Sounds great for the cost
Brendan Hopkins said… Hey thanks Tim! I appreciate it!
Dan Sleep said… Is it Wfret? If so, do a search for Wfret download, and it is on a page called spaceports. I am at work and it won't let me past the link to it.
But try http://www.europa.spaceports.com and look about half way down the page.
thanks tim took a couple years to work that bridge out too were i like them .
Dan Sleep said… Tim, I pack all mine in a 36x12x4 box I get from Uline. I wrap the body and headstock in bubble wrap, and stuff the rest of the box with newspaper of brown shipping paper. I have been using the Post Office and most of my shipping charges have been under 15 or so.

Jeff "Strat Fink" Tinsley said… Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. You asked if I had anything interesting to trade.... I am the antithesis of the Dos Equis man. I may be the least interesting man in the world. Lol. Actually, I have just started work on putting together a benefit auction for an injured young man I know. All my good trade stuff is set to be donated to the auction.
If nobody beat me to the cans. I'd be more than happy to buy them from you. I won't be upset if someone beat me to them though. It would be my own fault for being so slow to reply.
