Is this wire surface treated (galvanized)?

According to manufacturer, this wire is spring tempered, phosphate coated, carbon steel that meets ASTM standard A228. The phosphate coating will provide some rust resistance, but by itself it would not rust proof the wire for continuous wet or outdoor use. This is because phosphate coatings are usually microscopically porous and will allow some moisture to reach the steel.

Does this wire bend? I am looking for a sturdy wire that won't bend but can be cut to size.

Music wire is a very hard wire,similar to the wire in a spring. It is also hard to cut.

The photo looks like straight wire, but the decription says it's coiled. Which is it?

Thank you for catching this. It is straight wire, not coiled.

Is this hollow so I can string them together

No, these wires are not hollow.
