Any piano supply company can help you. Call them and they will recommend what to start with. I carry a Genk piano wire case that I stocked with 13-20 gauge wire in the half sizes. You can buy a digital micrometer from Harbor Freight tools for under $50. Ed Tomlinson << Could I get some tips/advice on what I should have in the way of a good basic variety of piano wire? I have not yet replaced any strings, but I would like to be prepared to replace/splice any broken or missing strings I may encounter. Also, I am told I will need something called a "micrometer," to measure the string gauges. How many types of wire should I carry, or is there a "universal" type I can use for basic replacement? Thanks. Terry >>
