[CAUT] Stainless wire and "string stretching". What's up?

[Jim Busby]

List,

 

I gotta toss in my two bits here. When working with stainless wire - you
put it on, lift/level coils, then it's pretty much stabile! 

 

Soooo, you say? Well, I think all the info provided on wire stretching
has been good, but you should be aware of stainless wire and the
following.

 

IMO stainless wire will become more and more relevant as time goes on.
Think about it;

1.	Almost instant stability w/o prepping
2.	No rust, ever.
3.	Chip it in, one rough tune, one fine tune, then it acts like it
was strung 6 months ago!

 

So in all your pontificating and formulas for stability keep stainless
wire in mind, because with it, all the prepping, etc. is unnecessary.
This may not be the total future of piano wire, but while others are
messing with wire stretching, etc. I'll be on to other things. :-)

 

 

Cheers,

Jim Busby
