Hello Jim, this sounds like a very worthwhile, interesting, and for me, exciting prospect. As a believer in stainless wire for many different situations and applications, I am surprised it is so slow to get recognition in North America. Among the things you mention, I wonder if there is any way to study how and why stainless wire attains such a high degree of tuning stability.
