Richard, I have no experience with Pure-Sound wire, but I happen to have met Juan last sunday in Amsterdam. I understand that Pure-Sound wire is THE wire, one should use when rebuilding older instruments. Juan has written an article about the history of music wire in the Europiano magazine and he has a website http://www.puresound-wire.com/ .
