A few words about the Paulello Music Wire, their design , manufacturing & purpose

The major elements characterizing the Paulello wire are:
  • Less internal amortisment, hence a longer sustain
  • A larger acoustical band width, hence a wider spectrum, richer in high partials
  • A much faster stabilization in stress.
  • Nickel-Plated wire in O and M series now available
  • Custom Bass Strings on Nickel-Plated Wire available

Ultra slow and carefull wiredrawing process enhance the quality of steel, creating a superior music wire, designed as to provide a better balance and evenness of stresses between all the ranges of the pianos, allowing a smooth and consistant progression of stress rates throughout the whole scaling , as well as a beautiful aspect, provided by the ultra slow quality wiredrawing process.
