*//* No, that Schaff wire will not do - it's steel piano wire and too 
stiff for either of Hester's models. They may be useful for autoharps or 
hardboiled egg slicers...

You need either iron wire or brass wire. You'll just have to splurge for 
the right stuff from Lutz Bungert (Instrument Workshop) or Hubbard or 
Zuckerman. Or you can pass the job on to someone who works on them and 
stocks the full assortment - because they will be breaking on you...
