I like the subtle air of mystery about the music wire business. It's not unlike most modern wire drawing these days with the employment of consecutively smaller wire drawing dies to achieve your desired diameter.

Why could you not show all the machines and the process of drawing strings? That would have been most fascinating, and one never gets to see it. Not here either. :(

Hi Willi, you can watch the second part of the interview with Mr. Rose here: ow.ly/L9Qo30dDvTF. This video shows off the process inside his workshop with harpsichord accompaniment by harpsichordist Charlotte Nediger.

I got majorly ripped off buying a harpsichord. By the biggest name in the Netherlands, Klinkhamer. How do you prevent that?

[@arjenbij]

Ripped off in what way?

@@arjenbij if, as a novice harpsichord buyer, you are told to consult the technician who has maintained an unrefurbished 1962 Rainer Schutze - which he had secretly talked about refurbishing with the owner - to buy it for more than 3000 euros, do you think this is fair practise? Do you think this is an honest builder?
