Sheffield wire?

Replies to several notes on this subject:

to Horace: I should have thought of you at once as the Official Repository of 
Arcane Minutiae! Thanks for the leads. I will follow up. Hubbard doesn't list 
what kind of wire they have; Zuckermann lists Röslau. We got the client a 
pound of some stuff (Röslau?) from American to get him by. He can hear the 
difference.

to Susan and to Richard Brekne, thanks for suggesting searching web; I didn't 
find much under a number of different search parameters.

Barrie,
Thanks for the source. I am looking for smaller wire, #3 (0.3mm). I had hoped 
for "in-stock" instead of special order. I don't know what the client means 
by "Sheffield wire" or where he got it originally. There are two wiremakers 
in Sheffield, but they don't list music wire specifically on their Web sites.

I found Hecksher's catalog online, but they carry Röslau. Do you have a 
catalog for Fletcher and Newman, and do they list what kind of wire they 
carry?

Thanks to all,
