A piezo sensor can be thought of as a capacitor which is sensitive to force (or
acceleration).  It is a
relatively high impedance device, so any resistance across the output will quickly
discharge the voltage.
Since the frequency response is normally high, it would be hard to see most seismo
signals.  The most
likely would be a bender element with a mass on the free end.
