Thanks to everyone for your replies and suggestions. I finally found a company in Germany that is
sending me 1,000 feet (a lifetime supply) at no charge. All they want is for me to pay the shipping costs.
My sincere thanks to the Monosuisse company for their generosity. The search is over.
There are little tiny springs in the action of a harpsichord. Traditionally, these were made using boar bristle which is very hard to find. The most used alternative is monofilament fishing line, but it's quite springy and it's quite difficult to
adjust the tension. Using .4mm PEEK wire was suggested to me, and I was able to purchase a small amount from Australia. It is, by far, the best product for my needs. However, most people have never heard of PEEK wire, and the
only sources I've been able to find want you to buy giant amounts that I couldn't use up in 10 lifetimes.
If anyone here knows what PEEK wire is and has a source for it, please let me know.
