mounting homebrew contact mic

[Tom Polokonis]

Elastic strap might work... ideally you want a solid surface and
connection(I think). As hot-gluing a pickup to your teeth is NOT a viable
option, we've got to try something else.  I've pressed the mic up against my
jugular and it gets the notes. It's really not a very pleasant sound, but I
could be overdriving my preamp.  If I ever bother to take five minutes out
of my time and put in a volume pot, I'll try it again and let everyone know.
If the sound is just nasty, well, musicians have found uses for absolutely
everything. (feedback- the bane of lecturers and the favorite effect of many
guitarists)
