Yes, of course, I wouldn't expect a good sound out of this approach.

I was just intrigued by the idea of having no moving mass system, which certainly has some advantages in theory over the microphone (even if they don't outweight the disadvantages).

I'd love to hear a recording, if anybody has one?!
