What Material Are You Using To Model Truss Rods?

A reader has sent in this idea:
"I have tried filament (too thin) and jelly cord (too thick and puts tension on the queen posts - its is a nice black color), and now I am using music wire which works wonders. Make a pattern and then lay it on a board, put nails where the bends are to be and bend the wire around them. Each truss rod comes out the same."
