have a lot of responses both on RCSE and private.
Thanks again!

You can get dead-straight hard stainless steel wire from
www.smallparts.com in 60" lengths. Not quite as hard
as piano wire, but pretty close. The drawback is that
the 0.06" size is about $12 a piece, plus an extra
oversize shipping charge.
They also have loose coils of hard stainless wire, bu
Shawn,
I think I still have some 48" 1/16th wire how much do you need?

I can't think of any reason to be using 1/16 music wire for pushrods.
Either use 1/16 carbon fiber rods or use hypo tubing.
If you want 6 ft long straight wire, Small Parts does sell stainless steel
white in those lengths that is already straight. With a well supported,
straight pushrod, you pr
I have never seen anything longer than 36" in 'straight' wire. We used to
get in coils when I was at NASA, but it was the very devil to straighten.
However, we got pretty good at using a DUALL band saw blade welder to seld
two peices of straight wire together in order to extend it.

You can get long music wire from www.smallparts.com, or from any piano
tuner. I got a huge roll from an on-line piano parts company, a
lifetime supply for sixteen bucks if I recall right.
I later found it was easier to get stainless-steel leader wire from
Bass Pro Shop. It's not as stiff as music

If you don't have to make bends, carbon-fiber rods work great, are lighter, and can be had in 4 and 8 foot lengths:

They have coils.. The question is how tightly wrapped is the coil...
Very reasonably priced.

I tried a music store, and they seemed willing to help - it
was very busy, and I had to leave, but they acted as thought they had spools of
wire for the pianos
Maybe?Good luck,

Hi Shawn,
I don't think anyone has long music wire...
Try a weld shop. I have used welding wire. normally a weld shop will give you 15 feet or so. it comes in different diameters and is not hard to straighten out enough to work. I have used it on a couple of different planes.

Anyone have a good source for 48" or longer 1/16" straight music wire
for pushrods? I have a couple of projects that 36" wire is not going
to get it.
Thanks,
Shawn
