It had also occurred to me that you could make a modern powered version.Small beads of steel in plastic discs, same actuating method, but use
standard guitar pickups fed to a conventional amplifier. If you used
beads of the same mass as the part of a string inside the pickup's
capture zone the result would sound pretty close to a normal guitar.
edit: BTW for any geeks out there.
Tone-Wheel organs use a variation on that idea.
