I'm familiar with Piano wire. That's why I asked. My Buddy works for Steinway Piano Corp. as a technician. He tunes, repairs and rebuilds them. He has scraps of this stuff lying around. All different diameters. He uses it for other things too.

I knew what you wanted to do with Piano wire. Just wondering how/where you were able to get that. Repurposing materials is common in RC.
