K&S Music/Piano Wire (Metric)

Music Wire, also known as Piano Wire, is a high-tensile spring-steel material engineered to provide maximum structural rigidity, exceptional elastic recovery, and precise linear strength for architectural scale models, mechanical prototypes, and custom engineering projects. Featuring a protective phosphate finish, this high-carbon steel wire offers architects, model makers, and engineers a resilient metal component for fabricating control linkages, structural stay-wires, and custom springs.

Manufactured from premium ASTM A228 spring-tempered carbon steel, this material maintains its shape under high tension and repeated flexing without permanent deformation. The stiff wire profile can be bent into shape using heavy-duty pliers, cut using hardened wire cutters or a high-speed rotary tool, and anchored into wood, plastic, or metal bases using specialised epoxy resins. The phosphate surface layer protects the steel core against atmospheric oxidation while providing an excellent key for paints and metal primers.

Available in a broad selection of wire diameters, straight lengths, and pack choices across the product family, this music wire delivers a dependable, professional-grade solution for outfitting dynamic model linkages, structural tension cables, and high-fidelity scale dioramas.
