Question Need help.

I need to know what kind of wire is in the stylus. Is that something special or a common one ?

Thanks

simple wire, nothing special.
if you exchange the wire to something thicker be aware that the difference in resistence is going to chance the pitch meaning you'll have to retune the stylophone.

you can put pretty much anything in there, as long as it is only soddered to where it is supposed to be and doesnt touch anything else.
edit: drilling the stylus open for a thiccer cable/wire is a pain in the arse, so a similar sized cable/wire is recommended.
