You may want to investigate "Pure Sound" wire. He has both soft and hard versions. Also, he has breaking points of these wire gauges in a nice chart. I'm sure one of us here can supply a formula for you to use if you have the measurments from the instrument and pitch frequency to see how near the breaking point you'd be. http://www.puresound-wire.com/ click on "Wire Data" He does not list the soft/vs hard wire on that spread sheet...click on "Other Wires" for that info. Juan will be happy to communicate via email with you on this, and may even call you by phone! Jurgen Goering sells his wire, by the way. But I don't know what he has in stock. Jurgen Goering Piano Forte Supply (250) 754-2440 info at pianofortesupply.com http://www.pianofortesupply.com Please check with him for prices, as my last quote was from 2007. I would love to restring our Neupert in this wire, but sofar, only the top string has broken. I might get some, but don't need all that much to keep around. I only need one string right now, and maybe some back up strings. The Neupert also does not have the scale on it, but they are still in business and I probably can write to them to get the scale. Wound strings for the 16' could be a problem. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. X Cheers, Richard Adkins Coe College -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
