The Birmingham Wire Gauge Company was the main
provider of piano
wire in Britain in
the early to mid 1800s.
Their wire, noted for its strength and resilience, was stronger
than the easily available German wire gauge. The Birmingham company eventually supplied
musical instrument wire to other companies across the world. .
The company grew out of the city's need for piano wire from the
many companies that were experiencing rapid growth like
Crane & Sons.
