You really want a very low leakage cap in there. The 'hold' will probably drop in pitch fairly quick if you use something else. It's possible you may be OK to substitute with some other type if your samples are going to be very short...
try some and see what happens...

Let us know what you find out. Good luck!

You can use a polypropylene capacitor to replace it, should be no problems.

You could also use a silver mica capacitor. If you can't find those or polypropylenes, PM me your address. I have a couple styrenes I can spare. If you can wait a wile, I'll send them through letter post at no charge. If you need them fast, we'll work something out.
