Where in Aus can I find something called PVDF Cable as described in this web page?
Preferably somewhere around Adelaide.
I need it for making an instrument pickup. Not a guitar pickup, as described in the article, but a much smaller instrument (a mandolin).
It appears as though a normal teflon insulator small diameter coax would suffice... I suggest you explain your need to your local coax supplier.
No it is not ordinary coax.
Try this link to the company that makes it.
Didnt say it was , but then you did not read and understand what I said,
Notice I mentioned teflon , now have a think about why ..
The link I provided now does not seem to work even though I cut and pasted it. this one works I hope.
You did say you thought NORMAL coax would work. Can you please explain what I missed about teflon?
Just trust to ask for teflon based insulator...
Do you really understand the problem? Did you read the original reference?
The OP needs a "cable" that generates a voltage when it is deformed by the music and then this active cable is connected by normal cable out to an amplifier etc.
Saying "Just trust to ask for teflon based insulator..." doesnt really tell me anything. Are you saying teflon generate signals when deformed?
Please explain what you are trying to get me to guess.
I only entered this discussion when you said "Normal" coax would do the job but so far you have not provided ant evidence to show that is true.
Just make sure you get the teflon insulator.
It won't stick to the pan.

as I read it piezoelectric coax is needed.
