yamaha wire is metric..OT

[Farrell]

Well, yes I do "always" measure first. But not ALWAYS. The C3s I mentioned
are on cruise ships, and I try to take a minimum of tools with me. I was
thinking of maintaining a stock of some pre-cut wire on the ship so that the
piano doesn't have to wait two weeks for a replacement after I see that a
string is broke. But I guess what I'll have to do is just measure a bunch of
them and make a record of what gauge goes on which note. I'll measure a
number of C3 - hopefully they are all the same - Yamaha churns out a pretty
consistent product - not nearly as much "personality" as some other
manufacturers.

It kinda amazes me that I can walk through customs onto these ships -
through scanners - body searches, etc. and only once or twice has anyone
ever even looked in my tool box filled with coiled wire, electronic boxes,
big knives, etc., etc. Hmmmm......
