Tinned wire

[Horace Greeley]

Lance,

There is a _very_ outside chance that I still have some of this
stuff left.  Let me know what your needs are.

FYI, it was massively pushed when it was first introduced.  Many
folks (including yours, truly) bought a _very great deal_ of it - 
only to discover that it had several shortfalls, the most obvious
of which was sounding like the bottom layer of paper in a cat box.

However, like those nasty old Teflon bushings of yesteryear,
there are some pianos for which it is the _perfect_ wire.  It's the
only thing that will stand up (at all) to life _at_ the Pacific Coast.
(Which, by the way, hasn't been, recently.)

Drop me a line, I'll see what I can dig up.

Best.

Horace
