and solder quarter inch connectors to them. you could use double sided tape to mount them on any acoustic instrument but he used post-it putty because it helped attenuate some of the harsh frequencies these can produce.
Over-all they worked really well and would work on any acoustic instrument.

yea, i have seen these super inexpensive peizo pickups on numerous websites as well... generally speaking, for what applications would you use these pickups? for example; what instruments? are they usually used in specific instruments? are these the same type of piezos pickups you see in guitars? or can they be used in a lot of different applications? just curious...
