I have spent most of this afternoon searching for Piano wire on line and finely found it using the fraze music wire. Now the site wants my life history. Give me a break.
I know that I live in a waste land. I am lose in the twilight zone. Macon Georgia
With all of the same questions coming up again and again I think someone should put up a data bask of howto’s. Like, how to find, what’s it called and any other helpful links. It drives me nuts to know that with all of the resoures we have on the internet that someone has not done this.
Have you ever got stuck in that mind set were everything seems to go backwards. I have, I got so frustrighted, [soapbox]I got to the point where its better to just walkaway.
But no I did not even think of a hardware store. Thank you.[angel]
I feel so [D)]

I just did a Google search for “piano wire” and came up with 8 online stores that sell it on the first page??[%-)]
I’ve done work in Macon 3 or 4 times and never thought of it as a waste land. You need to see where I live! You’ll think your living in the middle of Atlanta![:D]
I visited Macon Georgia several times a few years ago. A relative was in the hospital. What blew me away was how steep those hills in the downtown area were! Looks like a clean town. I heard train horns from time to time, coming from the east but didn’t see the rail line.
It’s some distance from you, but contact this shop and see if they can sell and ship you your piano wire if you’re unable to get it elsewhere.

That would be the Norfolk Southern Yard about a mile east of the Med center. Its just off Broadway and the Central of Georgia has a small yard by Central City Park.
If you come into town on I-75 south from Atlanta and pickup I-16 east then get off at the coliseum exit and turn right you go under the main line just before it enters the NS yard.
You don’t have to buy “piano wire” as such, it’s just steel wire. Most R/C hobby shops carry an assortment of steel, brass, copper & alluminum wire and shapes from K&S.
In the “old” days we used to buy piano wire and guitar strings because that’s all that was available. Nowadays steel wire is available in lots of different places. Try googling “steel wire” and see what you get.
Hey I fly into fulton count, brown field on a regular basis. What is the yard to the east of the airport by about 5-10 miles. There seems to be a lot going on there and it looks really interesting to model. Does anyone model this or have pics and info on this yard?
I think you can get ‘piano wire’ at Hobbytown in the model airplane section. I used to make lead in wires and pushrods for the control line gas powered models I built and flew. I haven’t checked it out myself yet as I was going to look for some to make handrails on my HO diesels, although it may be a little too hard to bend in sharp radius bends. Come to think of it, I don’t even know if anyone still flies control line model airplanes.
Yeah that s the one. I always see alot of movement down there as we fly to the west to land. Always lots of motive power and various rollingstock. Very neat to see it.
