I have used several different brands of piano wire, over the years. A few<BR>
years ago, I decided to try the Mapes wire. I found it to be stiffer and to<BR>
have a brighter tone. For me, that was exactly the wrong direction to go.<BR>
So, I threw it out. Besides, I don't like their packaging or their attitude.<BR>
I like the consistancy of Roslau wire. If I had my druthers, I much prefer<BR>
Black Diamond or some other AMERICAN wire, but thanks to the terrible<BR>
attitude of US Steel, that's not possible. My next trial wire will be the<BR>
"Pure Tone" stuff. I am curious and would like to try it. The problem there<BR>
is I need to find out what the math/density coeficient is for the scaling<BR>
program. Any one have a thought on that?<BR>
