Maybe this is a little off list-topic though... --------- I've left it on-list since wire is a basic material, in hopes that the discussion of sources and composition of wire will prove helpful or at least interesting to somebody besides me. I found Horace's report on the chemical composition as it affects tone and durability very interesting. I know there has been previous discussion (some of it by you) of older wire and how it differs physically. Please do report back on your findings. What is your source for Malcolm Rose wire? Thanks, Bob Davis
