Honestly, that’s one of the reasons why some of the magnet wire changed, because they ran out of them and decided to use another. Or maybe because it was cheaper – he was very utilitarian and he was always looking for cost-cutting measures. Sometimes he switched to alder because it was cheaper and easier to paint, because they didn’t have to grain-fill it.
These were utilitarian decisions, not tone decisions, but they became canonized as the decisions that were made for specific reasons of tone.
