SV: Iron Wire

[Linda Stråhle]

Hello Jim,

If it is older type of iron strings you need you can buy it from:

Malcolm Rose
The Workshop,
English Passage,
Lewes,
East Sussex
BN7 2AP,GB
England
tel& fax ( 0 )1273 - 48 10 10

I restrunged a very old square piano( with no ironfram at all )
and got strings from Malcolm Rose.
I think he has three types of iron.
Also a great book called "A Handbook of Historical Stringing Practice"

I´m still working on my old square, have it in the kitchen. 
It has a keydepth of  7 mm. That is sweet!

Happy Midsummer;
Linda Stråhle
