Joe, let me know soon how much of that #27 wire you need for your 
Chickering <G>.  It's going fast!

On a more serious note, it is interesting that the Schaff catalog states 
that the Röslau wire manufacturing "tolerances are held to .0003"  ".  
What they don't tell you is that these tolerances are from the metric 
standard.  If you order a #13 wire from them, you will not get a wire 
.031" +/- .0003".  You will get a wire that is .0315"  +/- .0003.

Just to set the record straight as I see it.
