ENGLISH IRON & BRASS

Wires for harpsichords, clavichords and fortepianos

Strings - general information page

We have been making iron, brass, red brass, copper and tinned copper wires for keyboard instruments since 1981, and they are in use by makers and restorers throughout the world. Their formulation is based on research work begun in 1976 into the wires used in Europe from the late 17th to the mid 19th century.
