SCR VCO?

[Synthaholic AKA The Shark]

After reading about the thyratron VCO, I thought: "Why not an SCR
vco?"

I have quite a pile of them of various ratings, and I wondered if
anyone has tried this?  Assuming a saw waveform, the question (for me)
is will an SCR discharge the cap fast enough to make a VCO with decent
range?
