Hi.
I did a few searches and I did see reference to "butt connectors," but I'm not sure if these are same. SO, if this has been done before, disregard.
I've always had a tough time dealing with the little wires off the piezo. Sure, they can be replaced with larger wire, but that's a pain in the butt, especially if you're at a gig, etc., and something goes wrong. I then though of my phone installation stuff and I thought I'd use the IDC Telecom connectors for this purpose. These connectors are available in both butt and splice configurations. You don't strip the wire, since when the connectors are crimped, they pierce through the insulation, just like RJ-45 connectors.
So far they've been very reliable and quite easy to do. If you're playing out and have a problem, no need for a soldering iron - just a few connectors and a needle nose pliers.

Where to buy? They have them at Home Depot.
