A piezo doesn't pickup vibes like a regular pickup. Try pressing it against the box and strumming the strings.

Hi James.

 

For more information on setting up piezo pickups, and a bit of theory behind them, check out the discussion group  called  CBG wiring & electronics. You can also search this site. If Cigar Box Nation's own search isn't' working, you can use Google by entering your search criteria plus the following: "site:cigarboxnation.com". Give it a try -- click on Google in the line above.

 

-Rand.

Try double stick taping it to the underside of the lid, right near the bridge or as close as you can. I should work.

Piezo is a microphone, you could talk at it and hear your voice through the speaker.

I like the sound better (than the sound using a piezo) when I use an inexpensive ($ 7) dynamic microphone inside my CBG.
