    I also had a request for piano wire.  This person was setting up a conveyer and needed an straight line in space to do it.

  Someone once asked me for a whole reel because a new building for Hewlett Packard needed it to true one edge.

    Gee whizz Tom, nice guy.  An alternative direction would be to help the person out and give (or sell) them whatever wire they need. I've done this many times - for windshields, cleaning carburetors, a loom, etc., etc. It can be kinda fun - you get to meet someone doing something different than what you do - and hey, maybe they have a piano - or know someone that does - or maybe they'll tell someone about their experience with you and they tell someone who has a piano - or whatever. Sometimes it's just kinda nice to be nice. 


    How could meeting someone new, smiling, doing a good deed and just being an all 'round nice guy be a waste of time?

      Marshall,
       Give her the # of one of those resellers . This kind of thing is a waste of time. I used to get requests for wire used in cheese slicers or piano wire for the removal of car windshields. You have to meet them ( if they show ) and you have better things to do.

      I'll send you a link off list to one of these places (who by the way charge more than our usual supply house friends for the same stuff)

        Hi Everyone,
        I received an interesting e-mail today. To me it's a strange request.  This person wants to know if I have any piano wired that she can  use to make jewelry, a pin to be exact.  Is this a prank or is piano wire used for jewelry?  If it is, I can sell her a batch.  What gauge would she need if in fact this is something I have.  I'd give it to her I guess, but this stuff wil cost me if I have to buy a particular gauge again.  What would I sell it for if I did sel lher some? /Thanks
