You measure a resistance between the sleeve and the ring with a tester/multimeter. If when pressed the resistance is high, it won't work.

I put the multimeter on 20K (oms section) and press the fsr it gives me between : 0.59 - 0.61

What is the resistance when the fsr is not pressed?

When is not pressed the resistance is : 1

1kOhm? In that case it won't work. Too small range between 0.5k and 1k. In open state it must be more than 100k-150k.

I think is that...Do you think is normal or maybe the fsr have a pb? is there any electronic solution?
Thanks.

See the decimal point several spaces to the right of '1'? That means you're not using the right resistance range setting on the multimeter. Anyhow, the specs for this fsr say that its resistance is greater than 1 MOhm with no pressure applied. I'd say it should work.

If it's indeed less than 1k when pressed and MOhms when depressed then do as I suggested in viewtopic.php?p=24083#p24083 but replace any "hit a few times edge zones" with "press the edge fsr" since your setup will only work for choking.

thanks, But what is the range column to select the multimeter to measure this type of sensor?...This should work but it is not the case

Are you sure on the topic link you give me? Thanks.

Yes, I'm sure. It's a link to a post, not a topic.
