Pure Tone Strings

[Michiel van Loon]

Richard,
I have no experience with Pure-Sound wire, but I happen to have met Juan
last sunday in Amsterdam.
I understand that Pure-Sound wire is THE wire, one should use when
rebuilding older instruments.
Juan has written an article about the history of music wire in the Europiano
magazine and he has a website http://www.puresound-wire.com/ .
