> the PCB is itself intended to be used as a plectrum, to pick the > string being tuned A couple of reservations - Guitar strings are pretty abrasive. I'd add some extra PCB for wear and tear The g forces might upset the crystal and there'd be a lot of vibration and knocks too Guitarists are pretty fussy about picks. I use both hard and soft. A stiff PCB would affect playing style. Unless you mount a favourite pick on the other end of the board, but that's getting a bit unwieldy I'd probably not use this as a pick Joe --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
