Stephen, Can you expound just a bit about phosphor bronze? What don't you like about it? Sound? Something else? If one were to change existing phosphor bronz for something else, what would you recommend (preferably with the same diameters, to avoid a lot of figuring)? Would "spring brass" work okay? What would be the expected difference in sound? Mostly just curious, though I may have a harpsichord or two under my sporadic care that has such wire.
