<p>Hi Michael Fred, do you remember the caracteristics of the Maplin piezo or its reference? (I'm planning to travel to London in few weeks and I remember that there is a big Maplin store in Oxford Street ;0) so...)</p>

<p>Check out the K&K western mini - it looks like three little piezos that get glued under the bridge plate- they say they sound terrific-hmmmm....wonder what the secret is?</p>

<p>I get them from Maplin the electronics store, just a basic piezo disc just solder on a new shielded lead and encapsulate it in hot glue inside a slice of plastic waste pipe.</p>

<p>Hi all thanks for your answers. I have no problem with CB Gitty products (they are simply good) I have a problem here in France with shipment fees + import duties, taxes and other charges. The piezo coming from the US is then becoming expensive if I don't command them in large quantities and I don't need 100 but 3!</p>
<p></p>
<p>At the same time not being "electronic oriented" I'm curious to know what and how all theses particularities (impedance, voltage, etc) impact the sound of a piezo…</p>

<p>probably much safer to buy 'em from CB Gitty that are known to serve well for our application!</p>
<p></p>
<p>now if you just need a squeaker-beeper, probably anything will do that! lol</p>

<p>I don't think CB Gitty's are any different or made for music. I have pulled them out of old smoke detectors and they work just fine. I get them from Gitty now because he makes it so easy.</p>

<p>They are probably not all created equal but considering they are mass produced by the tens of thousands, probably all in one or two factories I would guess they are basically the same. I buy them from Radio Shack and those have been fine.</p>
