Make contact mic according to: http://home.earthlink.net/~erinys/contactmic.html

Attach contact mic to piece of wood using tape, glue, clamp, whatever strikes your fancy.

Screw a bunch of crap (bobby pins, cymbals, springs, saw blades, jaw harps, music boxes work well) to your piece of wood. Remember wide and long means low tones, short and thin means high tones. blah blah blafdhlk..

 

 

 

Note how the contact mic is held down with a clamp. This is convenient for adjusting the pressure on the mic (which can seriously alter the tone instrument)...

These are my favorite instruments in the wide world. They both have such a wide spectrum of sound I never get bored of them.

If you're very patient you can even tune them.
