SV: iron wound strings

[Aras]

William,
There were even manufacturers who blended iron and cupper wound strings. It can be seen in old pianos where they have put in iron wound strings before the tenor breake. This was not done because the cupper was expensive or so but simply because of tone quality benefits. 
Iron wound strings are not bad at all - they have another sound and some people like it and some dont.

How about iron wound strings?  I've a client with a rather old Baldwin that 
has iron wound strings, in need of a new pinblock/strings, etc.  The client 
is interested in keeping the strings iron wound and I've never replaced 
irons wound with copper wound.  Are there pitfalls to be aware of?  What 
kind of tonal difference would one expect if we were comparing new iron to 
new copper?  I'd also be interested in arguments in favor of and against 
keeping them iron.

Many thanks,
William R. Monroe
