Polish translation:
struny fortepaniu
English term
piano wire
Piano wire is the wire used for the internal strings of a piano. Historically piano wire was made of a single metal, such as copper, brass or aluminum. Many modern piano wires are made from composites, however, often including carbon, sulphur, phosphorus, silicon, and manganese. The thickness of piano wire can range from 24 gauge, or 0.022 inches (0.5mm), to 6 gauge, or 0.192 inches (4.8mm).

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Vanda Nissen nie ma racji - odsyłam do Encyklopedii Powszechnej PWN, gdzie szczegółowo opisano z czego składa się fortepian

: Niezupełnie. Ze specyfikacji fortepianów Steinway: "TREBLE: Twelve whole & one-half sizes from high-tensile Swedish steel. BASS: Swedish steel core wire wound with pure copper." Struny basowe są złożone. To nie pojedynczy kawałek "drutu".

: struny fortepianu nie pasuja do kontekstu. "struny fortepianu sa uzywane do budowy strun fortepianu", tak by to wyszlo, a tak chyba byc nie powinno. fortepian ma struny, wlasnie zajrzalam mojemu pod klapke ;) optymalny wydaje sie drut fortepianowy (?)
