Stainless Steel Wire

[Farrell]

Joe, you want to reply to this? Or should I take a shot at it? I'll just keep it short.

You are wrong. They are not high volume or terribly high performance perhaps, but they can play quite nicely, sound nice (though not loud - they can have a very beautiful mellow tone), and they certainly can look stunning. People are willing to pay very good money to rebuild these.
