Makes sense, not using a mag on your drum banjo project...piezo will do better for you there. As Darryl said, soldering a small value capacitor, like a .01uF between the positive and negative lugs of the 1/4" jack will help filter out some of the harsh brittle treble-ness of the piezo.

To add to this, I am not saying that all piezo set-ups will sound brittle and/or harsh. But sometimes they can sound like a cat being pulled tail-first through a key hole.

Thanks for the info, and l will put the cap in. I have Strung it up and it is substantially louder than anything that I have built so far. I have made allowance for 4 strings but quickly realised that I am not Ready for 4 strings yet so back to 3. I will Post a pick as Soon as I Finish.

Oh by the Way , happy new year to all.
