Hi Dennis

I may be the "someone said".  Anyway what I think I said was that Isaac's
core wire is not straightened ie it is not put through a set of rollers to
remove the natural spool coil from the wire and make it straight like an arrow.
If you hang bass strings made in this way they will not hang straight but
instead hang in a spiral.
