Interresting trick ... didn't knew beewax was such good sound conductor.<br>
<br>
I suggest you contact some beekeeper directly, they are nice people<br>
generaly, and there are more and more of them in the cities now.<br>
You'll find the most natural and cheapest wax that way, probably for free<br>
(if you explain for what it is), and maybe meet some nice people ... ;)<br>

I could send some to you from brussels (from Okno or other place), but it<br>
is better you find some localy.<br>
