[RWP] My metronome question

[Patrick Perdue]

Radio Shack used to cell piezos in little plastic enclosures meant to be 
used as small buzzer speakers. Take it out of the plastic and have fun. 
Maybe they still do.
I have some piezos that are just exposed on one side with a plastic 
backing on the other side, with a thin cable leading to a 1/4th jack. 
Ultra-generic pick-ups with little clip mounts with screw holes/adhesive 
backing to attach the jack's housing to instruments.

To keep this on topic, you should always play your metronome through a 
piezo transducer. Yeah. That. Don't use your mailbox as a vocal 
microphone, as fun as it may seem at the time.
