Hi David,

There is a tutorial here (by Jef Long) that I found earlier today which is excellent.

Thats close David but not quite the one im looking for. It was a single piezo sandwiched between 2 pieces of wood. I have plenty of piezos I gues ill just try what i think will work and see what happens. ill keep you updated... thanks again.....    Dave

David, sandwiching is simple. Just hollow out one half so it covers the piezo, make sure the flat side is up towards the strings and leave space for the wires to come out. I do this on mine and it works great.
