Hello there
Where can I get me a replacement cord for a volume pedal? Tried to look for it here in Israel but failed to get me a proper one.
Thanks!

Rani,
I shot archery for many years, made my own strings and carbon fiber cables. Once had a Volume Pedal Cord problem and did not have an extra. Took a piece of "Center Serving" material, the largest diameter I had and made a string for my volume pedal. Lasted a very long time. It is braided "Kevlar", carbon fiber, sold by the spool. Used to be about $3US for 200'. It will wear, but I believe it is very good. Any archery shop or club will have it or it can be bought on line. Other opinions will vary of course.

Email me your address, I'll send you enough to make a couple.

Got any window shades in your house. Window shade cord is what I used and worked good but wife didn't like the short cord on her window shade, Whoa!

I've used Masons line, the few times I had to do that. It's the string that masons or bricklayers use to lay stone or bricks in a straight and level line.

For the last bunch of years, I've been using common chalk line cord...available in any hardware store. It works just fine, and is cheap.
