ABSTRACT:
A transducer for a stringed musical instrument incorporating an electrically conductive ground plane, along with a piezoelectric transducer and a conductive strip. The piezoelectric transducer is comprised of a polyvinylidene fluoride co-polymer. The ground plane, piezoelectric transducers and conductive strip are secured in an elongated unitary structure with the ground plane and conductive strip disposed on opposite sides of the transducers. A conductive shield is disposed about the unitary structure and electrical leads connect to the ground plane and conductive strip, respectively. The conductive strip and ground plane are both of a flexible material with a dielectric layer and a metallic layer. The conductive strip and ground plane extend beyond the piezoelectric transducer to form leads for the transducer.
