long treble in a modern wire such as Roslau. Not ideal., but compromises
will have to be made. Cognoscenti will squirm about Roslau, but the average
listener won't notice.

Fully agree! I have experimented in my own Hubbard and found that in the
treble region, not only historical iron breaks, but modern wire sounds very
well (unlike of course what happens with more faithful historical replicas
with historical scalings).
