Hi David,<br>
There is a big difference, between iron and steel piano wire. You
need to check and find out what is in use on a particular instrument.
Yellow or Orange plain brass wire the same thing.<br>
Zukerman (sp?)is a good source for both.<br><br>

I have a broken/missing string/wire on one of our
pianofortes. I would like to order a set of wire so we have
it in stock. Does anyone know what sizes are typical for a
pianoforte? <br><br>
