Piezo sizes

[daveybabes]

Quick question - Best piezo size for head piezo on DIY 12" snare ?

27mm or 35mm?

What's the difference and can it effect the Positional Sensing doo daa and sensitivity?

Many thanks

Dave

i used 35mm, they match the cone size exactly.

Embarrassing Question

Can I sneek into this thread and ask something I (and it seems everyone I meet) am unsure of - exactly HOW do you pronounce "piezo"? Is it -

Pee-so
Pi-et-so

or -
pye-so

Please don't think any less of me for this - actually, I think I may speak for several here...

[daveybabes]

mmm

Not sure on that one he he - i say it as "Pee ez o" did u have any luck selling the TD6V yet? upgrading to the Td12? i got 200 for my TD6v, u should get a good price, it's just finding that right customer ... Dave

pronounced peezo..?

I use 50mm peizos... I'm assuming bigger is better (not an innuendo! )

Hah - just as I thought! I favour "peezo" as in "pizza", unless anyone knows better. I'm sure Mr Render and the other illuminati on the site will have an opinion.

Still trying to sell that TD6 module, daveybabes - checked out the 12 last Saturday, and I WANT ONE! I don't really want to have to bother with the Bay, but it's looking that way.

mmm mmm

Pee yayzo? Didn't a young Charlotte Church sing something about one of these ?

I just say "give us one of those round thingies" maybe i'm taking the peiz?

Hey Grazza what a great word "illuminati" lol -

pronounced peezo..?

That's what I've always heard them called too, 'pee-zo'. In Australia in the electronics industry that's how it's usually pronounced.

Why not hang on to the TD-6 .... you just KNOW you're going to run out of inputs on the TD-12 within a short time.

GAS always wins!

Oh, and I say Pee-Zoh

Edit: Sorry Dave, we've gone a bit off topic.

i've just bought a boat load of both. £8 for 20 27mm's and a load of 35mm's for the impending trial and error. i'll make electronic finger cymbals with what's left over

[smile]

Ive used 41mm on all my toms - 35mm for rim and ride bell - they work very well @ sens 7 on my TD6 - nice and balanced

exactly HOW do you pronounce "piezo"?

I've always pronounced it pee-zee-oh, but I was never certain either.

It's pee-ay-zo (I work with engineers who develop them).
