Jim,
   At the plant, we have shelves on the wall behind the pianos in the s=
tringing room. The shelves have sections (about 10 inches tall) of Sono=
-tube concrete casting forms. Like used for pillars, posts, and cat hou=
ses. About 15" dia. In the section of tube, is a wooden wheel with a fe=
w upright dowels. A notch in the side of the tube allows the wire to sp=
ool out, while the wheel rotates in the tube. Snap-on pipe insulation p=
rotects the rim of the piano as the wire is dragged off the shelf to be=
 used. No, I didn't invent it, but I think it's slick!

later,
Guy

List,

 

Do any of you have a good container or method to store and easily use p=
iano wire in the large rolls? I m also hoping that I can figure out a w=
ay to adapt it with all my new Pure Sound stainless wire. The rolls are=
 about 17 inches diameter.

 

It seems I read something about this years ago but I couldn t find anyt=
hing on the archives. I recall something that it had an arm with a sort=
 of brake thingee too. The container is the part I can t visualize. Hav=
ing 15 huge boxes around would work, but there s got to be a better way=
. (I ve always just set the roll on a blanket on the plate.)

 

Thanks,
