Oh, and I mean an #electric-acoustic.
Something like this:

More-so for recording or as a second guitar on stage.
Live, I figure I'd use a guitar with #piezo pickups and maybe an octave pedal. Who knows.
I think I just need to find a dozen multi-instrumentalists. 😜

(Unsure which I'd go with as they have several fantastic models!)
Imagine sticking i.e. SD Black Winter pickups in here! 🤔
🤤 😂

Installed a piezo pickup and guitar jack for a new diddley bow. #diddleybow #piezo #handmade #cigarboxguitar #canjo

This is how I built a DIY noise box from bits and pieces I had lying around and an old tin.

Also been working on this little linear stage recently. Uses dowel pins and bearings as the precision surfaces, everything else just machined aluminum. Little crunchy due to a 3d printed ball cage but otherwise happy how the first prototype turned out

Plan to use this for a piezo stage

METSÄÄN MCP mini - a modular Musique Concrète Platform

https://metsn.tumblr.com/post/703390730973020160

Nothing new here, it’s an ancient and classic concept of a modular experimental music instrument. It contains the Metsään charge amplifier for contact microphones that has a very wide frequency range which includes the low end (BASS!), compared to the usual tinny pure piezo disc squeals.

An array of clamps and brackets make it possible to attach all kinds of material and resonance bodies/receptors in a modular fashion, so you can have different set-ups for different sessions or swap parts on the fly (and record the engineering sounds as well). It works great with a looper and/or a effect pedal chain or to record samples for later arrangement in the classic ‘musique concrète’ way.

The MCP consists of a recycled and painted (industry burnout camo patterns, in black and chrome) wooden box and has a strip of coarse sandpaper on its surface for some extra crunchy sounds. It comes with a selection of objects (as seen in the demo video), so you can start experimenting right away. But i urge you to also experiment will different materials. It’s best powered by 9V DC battery with adapter clip (included), but it also works with a high grade 9v DC boss-style (minus inside) pedal power supply, but low quality PSUs will introduce hum into the audio signal. Handmade by grm for METSÄÄN.

- Size: 20 x10 x 7 cm (including clamps and brackets)
- Output: 6.3mm mono intrument socket (TS)
- Power: 9V DC (minus pin inside, boss style)

Introducing the METSÄÄN MCP mini - a Musique Concrète Platform

Nothing new, it's an ancient and classic concept of a modular experimental music instrument. It contains the Metsään charge amplifier for contact microphones with a wide frequency range response that includes BASS, not just the usual tinny pure piezo disc squeals. An array of clamps and brackets make it possible to attach all kinds of material and resonance bodies/receptors in a modular fashion, so you can have different set-ups for different sessions or swap parts on the fly and record the engineering sounds as well. The MCP consists of a recycled and painted wooden box and has a strip of coarse sandpaper on its surface for some extra crunchy sounds. Comes with a selection of objects and a cushioning industrial felt mat for table sound isolation and feedback reduction and a 9V battery block with adapter clip, but it also works with a clean 9v DC boss-style (minus insinde) pedal power supply.

New #preprint from Ardem Patapoutian's lab:

'Here, we show that humans lacking PIEZO2 exhibit impaired bowel sensation and motility. Piezo2 in mouse dorsal root but not nodose ganglia is required to sense gut content, and this activity slows down food transit rates in the stomach, small intestine, and colon. Indeed, Piezo2 is directly required to detect colon distension in vivo. Our study unveils the mechanosensory mechanisms that regulate the transit of luminal contents throughout the gut, which is a critical process to ensure proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste removal.'

Habe mittlerweile etwas gefunden das ziemlich gut funktioniert. Seit einigen Tagen im Outdoor-Einsatz und der Klingeltaster OHNE Batterie (Piezotechnik). Mal schauen wie lange der draußen durchhält. 😃 Gongs müssen hingegen in die Steckdose, aber das stört nicht weiter. 🛎️ #HausUndHof #Haushalt #Heimwerken #Türklingel #Gadgets #Piezo
