And the "spool" is a very bad idea. A lot of harpsichord wire is sold on far too small diameter spools, which leads to kinking, twisting and a big mess. Dispensing the wire, getting it laid out in the instrument, then the tail comes off the hitch pin or you drop the other end, big tangle results, hard to get it laid out straight again. Not to mention the false beat problem. Coils are much better.
