Music wire or wrapping wire is a fine wire that can be used for musical instruments. We can make our music wire out of high-quality material that meets your exact specifications for the instrument you need it for. They're commonly used for guitars and other bowed instruments. 
 
The strings play a major role in the sound that the instrument creates. The string’s base alloy, wire shape, and coating, also affect the subtle nuances of the sound produced. These desired tonal features are a critical part of the string’s design.
 
With over 60 years in the wire industry, our team can make sure you get your wire according to your specifications and standards in a timely fashion. Our wire can be as fine as .001mm and is tested before it leaves the facility.
 
 
As you can see, Central Wire Industries offers a variety of high-quality fine wire that can be specified to your standards and the many applications that require it. Some of the different wires we provide include weaving, knitting, braiding, cabling, locking, and spring wire. CWI can package your wire in several different forms such as spool, reel, coil, bobbin, carrier, and custom packaging provided from as low as 1lb to 200lb tapered plastics.
