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...<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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...</p>
