It is against U.S. law to invest in Cuba, because we must crush them. So I am going to try to start up a bass-string factory there for the Latin-American market. Cuba produces copper, and electric wire. I am told by a U.S. manufacturer that 45 copper wire sizes are needed to produce sets of bass strings, and that it costs a few dollars a lb. for the wire, bought from such as Camden Wire Works in Arkansas. I am dying to know if Cuba could produce piano-quality copper wire at its wire plant outside Havana. Anyone know the specs for such wire, so I could ask the Cubans in a specific way if they could make the stuff? Benjamin Treuhaft Send a Piana to Havana Berkeley, Calif.
