Hey guys thanks for suggesting that I just make them myself. I made 10and used them to conduct a weird session at a departmental retreat at my workplace. Turned all of the tables into microphones, brought in some drum pads and other things and mic'd it all through a mixer with a ton of effects, and talked about the Oblique Strategies.

I'm pretty sure I weirded out all of my coworkers

YEAH!

Awesome! Sounds like an awesome time! Contact mics are the best for weird noises. My room mate attached his to a floppy piece of steel and hit it with a big metal rod, and ran that through my delay pedal. Wuz awesome.
