Thanks Ken,
I think suspended PVDF film is a dead end. The pickup is way too bulky. Eventually I seem to get a brighter tone comparable to the HFN. I iitially thought the HFN was bright because of the bridge design itself... But it might be just the coupling with the top.
Maybe a huge surface sensing pickup is equivalent to multiple sensors that interfere destructively. I thought it would have rather kill the high-end than the mids.
I will probably try to shield this pickup first because I need an elegant way to shield the pickups, then I will probably go for a dual tiny sensor design (ex PTW#54 or Dazzo).
Also I think I will work on an external preamp design.
PS: Note that making pickups is much harder than making IR!!!
