Are these made from pure aluminum, or from billets of an alloy such as 6061-T6?
I'm sure that it is some type of alloy, but to be honest I do not know for sure exactly which. I have a stack of aluminum plates that I am using, that I got a long time ago. The thinner picks I do not have as much material for so I will need to purchase more sooner than the thicker ones and will be able to provide exactly which type of aluminum, which I would prefer to do. Hopefully the magic is not just in the plates I have.
When I do move to new material I am thinking I will try 6061 or I think it would be interesting to try some of the special alloys they use in tuning forks. That may not be so cost effective though. It would be interesting to see if different alloys have a noticeably different tone.
