I've done this many times - for windshields, cleaning carburetors, a loom, etc., etc. It can be kinda fun - you get to meet someone doing something different than what you do - and hey, maybe they have a piano - or know someone that does - or maybe they'll tell someone about their experience with you and they tell someone who has a piano - or whatever.

To me it's a strange request.  This person wants to know if I have any piano wired that she can  use to make jewelry, a pin to be exact.  Is this a prank or is piano wire used for jewelry?  If it is, I can sell her a batch.  What gauge would she need if in fact this is something I have.  I'd give it to her I guess, but this stuff wil cost me if I have to buy a particular gauge again.  What would I sell it for if I did sel lher some? /Thanks</font><br> <font size="3" face="Arial">Marshall</font><br> <font size="3" face="Arial">215-510-9400</font><br> <font size="3" face="Arial"><a href="http://www.phillytuner.com" target="_blank">http://www.phillytuner.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><br> </div> </blockquote> </div> </span></blockquote> </div> <br> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div>  </div> </font>
