>>Also, we're excitedly waiting for Stephen to roll out (ha!) his new brass!<<

I don't recall that there have been any discussions regarding how Stephen's historic brass differs chemically from currently available brass.  We all know by now that his P-wire has the phosphorus content that hitherto was missing from replica iron wire, but what differentiates his brass from what we are using at the moment?

Curious,
BM
