 Interesting you say that, because, as I didn't know about "music wire" until 
now, 
 some days ago a friend gave me a long piece of wire that feels like an 
unwound guitar wire except its 8 feet long and has some measureable 
resistance, about 1 ohm/foot, unlike my "regular" guitar strings I've checked 
that measure ".2" ohms at any point. So maybe its possible we're we're 
talking about the same kind of wire?
 The only other source I know of would be resistance wire but I don't know 
how that would compare to the wire I have here.       
 So I'm using this piece of resistive guitar wire over a 4foot strip of 
aluminum. It works for now.
