Brass
has a sweeter and mellower tone, but isn't as strong as bronze... so it
breaks
more frequently. Robinson sells brass.

I get my brass strings from The Instrument Workshop in Ashland, OR. Phone
# 541-488-4671 (Jay Witcher recommended them). Tell them you're buying it
for a harp, so they won't send you a harpsicord sized spool.
Yeah, brass can be a pain, but I like the tone. None of those annoying
high partials phosphor bronze has.
