BDB,
Guitar strings are fondled continually by guitarists. Deposits of acids, oils and soils of all kinds occur regularly. Pianist's generally never touch the piano strings. I am sure you are aware of the general resistance of stainless to corrosion compared to other metals.
In a seemingly infinite universe-infinite human creativity is-seemingly possible.
According to NASA, 93% of the earth like planets possible in the known universe have yet to be formed.

As I said, I am only pointing out claims that are not reliable. Stainless steel may be a great material for winding strings, but its use on guitar strings proves nothing about piano strings.

Maximillyan, the pianos were not designed by the Irish, but by the RIppen family, owners of the parent company in Holland. They set up a factory in Ireland because the Irish government at that time were offering financial incentives to attract new employers there.
Shortage of wood was not an issue - the idea was to make the pianos weigh less. Thanks for clarifying,David Boyce. So it's dutch upright piano. Doubt that plastic parts of an action significantly facilitate weight of all piano. A half pound less weight an action against 50?

No, they were Irish pianos designed in Holland. The plastics were a cost-cutting measure which unfortunately proved unsuccessful.

In this case, I think the cat caught feline distemper.

BDB is FTD, Feline Dis Temper, your new tuning protocol? No wonder all your piano tunings go MEOW! Ha Ha

The last Lindner small upright that I have seen here(a man brought it from Sweden, where he took it from someones garbage) does not have a spruce soundboard, I am sure, because I have had a thorough look. I am not sure what material it was, because it was veneered.

Plastic action parts were only one of the measures designed to reduce the size and weight of the Lindner piano. The design was Dutch, the fabrication was all in Ireland.
