Greetings, Interesting article by Jim Ellis etal in the journal this month inre false beats from wire twisting against the curl. I just finished stringing the "blood" piano, taking care to keep the curl consistant, and will be interested in seeing if there is any difference. It was a hassle, in certain areas, to keep the curl where I wanted it to be, so, now I want to figure a way to straighten the wire before installing. I have used the brakes on the small wire reels to straighten the wire, but they don't do a very consistant job, leaving me with thoughts of small ball bearing wheels with grooves on them and pulling the wire through as I use it. I don't want to re-invent this thing, so if anybody has already developed a workable device and found that it makes a difference, how about posting something to the list on how well it works and is it worth the trouble.
