What is (number 8 music wire) is that the same as dulcimer strings or guitar strings?
Music wire is a coated piano wire. The tensile strength is greater and allows for the much higher tunings we use on the traditional pieces. The Mawhee set up uses number 8 tuned to "d", that's a little over 63 lbs.! That's like pulling your bass string "D" up one octave.
I wouldn't tune a regular string up more than two or so notes.....
Beautiful.
