Since I don't use it, nor do I encounter it in field work, I 
don't really care what Paulello's #1 or #2 wire does, as long 
as it does it somewhere else. As seems to be a universal lack 
of communication with you, I'm talking about the modern music 
wire that the overwhelming majority of piano manufacturers and 
techs employ, where you're talking about anything you can that 
seems to contradict it, however dissimilar. When you can cite 
some science that's known to someone other than yourself, I'd 
be more than happy to listen. As I said, I'm interested in 
real information about modern music wire.

Don't bother on my account, unless you can reference a 
credible source of information less than 150 years old.
