Piano wire from the hobby shop - 3-ft lengths, stiff, yet bendable,
takes solder well.

Go with coat hangers- needs to be cleaned up before it'll solder, but it's a
lot softer than hard-assed piano wire of the same dimensions.

If you just want a flimsy, thin armature, light gauge piano wire would be
the way to go.
