It's tension and low break%. The speaking lengths are just too short for plain wire at the required pitch.=20 In pianos with scaling problems such as Ron describes, Pure Sound wire has often been effectively used to improve the tone. It has a lower breaking strength and therefore, the break % at the same tension is higher. Also, it has a better tone at lower tensions than "regular" piano wire.
