Dear members,

 

I have to confess that I don't have much experience with metal springs used
in jacks for the tongues. Personally I use hog bristles (black boar) but now
I have to revise a spinet that uses jacks with metal springs. I suppose that
the metal used for strings is not suitable for making springs? If not what
kind of metal would be recommended?

 

Greetings,

 

Chris.
