Default Piezo capacitance

Anyone have good guess for the capacitance of a 1" diameter piezo
disk?

Probably a few tens of nF for a 20mm 'bender' disk (which will be
larger when mounted on the metal backing).

Likewise, how much capacitance in around 100' of typical telephone
twisted pair?

10-20pF per foot comes to mind.
