I sent an email (to place an order) to Marc this morning at the Instrument Workshop and got the reply "mailbox full." Doesn't sound promising. Might anyone know if Stephen Birkett is selling brass wire? Besides Malcolm Rose, Marc Vogel also sells wire. I have always purchased Delrin from The Instrument Workshop so I guess I will be shopping around in the near future. From what I understand Hendrick is sort of working but rarely answers emails and calls.įYI, McMaster-Carr sells Delrin.

Apparently they only sell individual strings with the hitch loops and not the coils. ![]() Harpsichord Clearing House recently revamped their website and you can see what supplies they sell.

Also, if they can no longer supply brass string, does anyone have another source? I am trying to order a set of strings from Instrument Workshop and getting no response by email or phone. There is a PTG member in Ashland so I will email her to see if she knows anything. I was planning to order strings from him myself. I wonder if the fires in Marc's region could be the reason you have not heard from him. ![]() In the past Marc replied quickly, though I believe there was a problem period about three years ago. I sent an email and left a phone message last May and have not had a reply. The problem of no replies from the Instrument Workshop goes back several months.
