I have a need to straighten lengths of .047" music wire cut from a

a solution I came across a "leader staightening tool" from Du-Bro,
they claim the tool will straighten solid wire fishing leaders. It
would seem that this might work on the music wire, but since I qualify
myself as neither a fisherman or skilled machinist the questions are -

Will this tool do what I want (guess someone will have to be a
machinist/fisherman to answer)? If you want to see a picture it can be
found at http://www.wolfffishing.com/wfp/dubprowirstr.html

and if not,

is there an alternative method or trick to making the wire near
straight?

Hmm. 18 years to find a solution -- I think he'd have gotten there by
now...


Yeah, I saw that after I replied myself. Then I realized he was just
looking for an excuse to post about his products.
