Hi Guys,
New to the forum. I worked on an animatronics singing skeleton group that performed at our non profit Haunted Attraction.
Anyone on FB can find out at

or track down 'Haunted High Stage Fright" on a search of FB and you'll find it. There is a healthy group of us on-line in some of the Haunted Forums building these 3'axis skulls using RC servos and controller boards and software.
This past season, I had 12 singing figures, and it was wildly popular. BUT each year you have to change it up.
SO for the next season we want to have a band complete with guitar players and a drummer.
For starters, I'm struggling with how to make the action on the guitar neck so it looks like the player is moving his hand u and down the frets of the neck.
Linear actuators are too slow. I thought about trying to hack a belt drive printer/plotter carrier, but I'm stumped and quite honestly a bit out of my league.
I joined the forum in search of advice and guidance.,
Many Thanks in advance,
