hi,
quite a few places reccomend using beeswax to attach contact microphones to instruments. Looking around there are various types of products sold as beeswax for different applications (shoe-shine, furniture polishing, etc.) anyone knows what kind, and more importantly in which type of shop, should I get? I'm in London if that helps.
thanks Oded
Interresting trick ... didn't knew beewax was such good sound conductor.
I suggest you contact some beekeeper directly, they are nice people generaly, and there are more and more of them in the cities now. You'll find the most natural and cheapest wax that way, probably for free (if you explain for what it is), and maybe meet some nice people ... ;)

I could send some to you from brussels (from Okno or other place), but it is better you find some localy.

Contrary to popular belief, bees are nice too.
