300-inch Coil of Wire
Zuckermann historical wire is made specifically for use in our harpsichords and clavichords. There are three materials of wire available which we refer to as red brass, yellow brass, and iron. On most harpsichords, red brass will be used for the lowest notes and iron for the highest notes. Yellow brass sounds better than either of the other two in the tenor range and our stringing schedules account for that. We carry wire in diameters that are measure in thousands of an inch—for example, .014” is referred to as “14 thousandths” in conversation. If you know what size and material you need, you can place your order directly. If you are not sure, please refer to the most common stringing schedules linked below.
