Carsten- I'd try the LDT series with rivets to make attaching the leads easier. I don't know which size would be better - I'd try all three, since they don't cost much. Alternatively, the SDT looks like a nice, tidy package. Also, it is self-shielding and has a shielded cable already attached. It is somewhat more expensive, however, at $25. I'm no expert on this stuff, but you will need to buffer the piezo's output signal (as you must with any piezo element) to get a good frequency response. You can build you own, or else use a commercially available buffer from Fishman, Barcus-Berry, Highlander, LR Baggs, or whoever makes piezo systems in your neighborhood. I like the looks of the Fishman Powerjack, at $50: http://www.msiusa.com/PART8-INT.pdf An active DI like a Countryman should also work, if you have one lying around. -Hans > >>>> Here's a link to some piezo film sensors.
