I've always had difficulty in judging the cost of treble wire used in<BR>
re-stringing a piano. Because certain sizes of wire run out before others<BR>
(the thicker ones, usually), one is never able to say "Well, if one has 1 lb<BR>
of wire in all the sizes from 13 though 22, one can restring x number of<BR>
pianos."<BR>
<BR>
I think if I knew the length of wire contained in 1 lb of each of the sizes<BR>
of piano wire, I could accurately figure out the cost of treble<BR>
re-stringing. Does anyone know where these specs. could be found?<BR>

It's so cheap do we really care that much? My educated guess is it doesn't take 50 bucks worth of wire to string most pianos and that's probably on the high side bass strings " not included " of course.<BR>
