I made a pluck-o-meter some time ago when I was testing suitable leather for a Pleyel harpsichord. Since re-leathering 244 jacks is quite a job, I wanted to be sure I got the right stuff, so made a torturing device. It is rather simple. It does not have a meter, but I timed the number of plucks per minute. Some leather prooved really shitty, as it tired real soon, like 10 K plucks and it was dead. The proper stuff went over half a million plucks, which is when I gave up on torturing it.
