High quality wire, powerful DIY springs
Very straight wire with consistent diameter. I attempted to fabricate small springs from it, but not suitable for my OD of 5mm. Too much spring force. This is just springs though and a lack of my proper knowledge.If you plan on making springs from it, though, attach a metal rod of your desired diameter (Home Depot for $2) to a drill and pinch on end of the music wire in the chuck with the rod. Be very careful and wear gloves and eye protection!

Not strong enough for my original purpose
I ordered the 0.032" diameter music wire to make shepherd's hooks for miniature pottery birdhouses. The wire is not strong enough. It bends too much. Having a conversion to the gauge of wire would have helped me steer clear of this wire. I found one that says 0.032" diameter is equivalent to 20 gauge wire. I needed something at least 16 gauge or thicker that would not bend as much. (And I found some floral wire at Michaels that works very well.) I plan to use the music wire to make some small mobiles with pottery.

Making a small wound spring for trigger return spring.g.
Excellent for making a small spring. Cold formed,but hot formed should be easier. It would then need heat treated. Good product for what I needed.

Used to make spinning wheel orifice hooks
These are used to make orifice hooks for my wife’s spinning wheel (13). Only problem is she keeps giving them to her friends so I use the music wire w lathe turned wood handles to make more orifice hooks. Use several thickness of wire but .035 may be best. Hard to find locally.
