Jim,
   At the plant, we have shelves on the wall behind the pianos in the stringing
room. The shelves have sections (about 10 inches tall) of Sono-tube concrete
casting forms. Like used for pillars, posts, and cat houses. About 15" dia. In
the section of tube, is a wooden wheel with a few upright dowels. A notch in the
side of the tube allows the wire to spool out, while the wheel rotates in the
tube. Snap-on pipe insulation protects 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 piano wire
in the large rolls? I m also hoping that I can figure out a way 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 anything 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. Having 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,

Jim Busby BYU
