         Ther are many ways as you can see to get the job done. In our shop 
we string about two pianos a month. We use the 5 lb. coils for sizes 19-18 
-17 which is what stringers use the most of. These we have in cake pans with 
a wooden top and hole cut out in the top and held on with 4 screws around the 
perimeter to pinch it to the rolled lip of the cake pan. The rest of the wire 
is in 1 lb. coils This way wire doesn't sit long enough to discolor. I think 
it would take about ten years to use up a 5 lb.coil of some of the smaller 
wire sizes even in shops where a good deal of stringing is going on .
    Discolored wire can be cleaned up with steel wool or whatever and wiped 
with a rag but it's a nuisance.
