Dear members,

 

I have to restring a Hubbard harpsichord which has a very long scale. I
already had some discussion with other people and it seems that in the
treble I'll get in trouble using the more authentic wires available. Are
there any reasonable alternative wires for stringing the treble? FYI, here
are the sounding lengths in millimeter of the longest 8', pitch is a1 = 415
Hz:
