One idea, and the short version. Let your customer buy his own piano wire at a
(good) hardware store. In any event, resolve (and absolve) yourself from any
liability, including 'implied'.

The longer version. There's a reason why weed-eaters use nylon or plastic
materials. First, it expends itself as it is worn/used. Next, parts (or all) of
the nylon strand(s) will shear off in the event the material contacts a hard
object. Hard objects may be defined as fence posts, brick walls... or leg
bones. Piano wire doesn't share that desirable characteristic.
