fortepiano

[Roger Jolly]

Hi David,
                   There is a big difference, between iron and steel 
piano wire.  You need to check and find out what is in use on a 
particular instrument. Yellow or Orange plain brass wire the same thing.
Zukerman (sp?)is a good source for both.

Regards Roger
