>which is where the piezo idea came from.

What happens if you have a piezo speaker as the resonant element in an
oscillator? When a rain drop lands on it will the resonant frequency or
amplitude change enough to detect? The only problem I see with this method
is that the electrodes would need protecting against the moisture.
