Hi Folks...
First I'd like to thank everyone for the wheel building advice. As for pluck info, I found a site that discusses tuning by ear. I think someone else mentioned it too. The link was at sheldon brown's wheelbuilding page:

The link led to:

Both are really worth reading. Anyway, I finished the wheel and had my LBS check it out. All was fine so my girlfriend and I went for a 30 mile ride today....excellent.
Thanks again to everyone...
