Title: OT: Found sounds, contact mic recommendation

I'd like to record some found sounds by mic'ing a string connected to various items.   The string would have some tension in it.   I'm imagining sandwiching the string between a contact mic and a hard object , or maybe between two contact mics.

Any recommendations of what kind of mic could be used to do this? 

In the meantime, here is a fun musical piece using recordings of gargling and splashing in a bath tub
