[sdiy] DIY Pots and Conductive Elastomer Instruments

[R. D. Davis]

Given the prices for pots in somewhat small quantities, has anyone on
this list attempted to make a DIY pot?  Ok, something a little more
accurate and durable than the lines of pencil-lead that we used to
experiment with as kids when learning about resistance, such as some
conductive plastic.

Speaking of conductive materials, does conductive elastomer's
resistance change when stretched?  If so, I'm thinking that some neat
synth. instruments can be made by attaching conductive elastomer to
various body parts!  Anyone had a go at this?
