That must've been a long time back, because German Roslau Piano wire 
currently sold in the US is NOT Metric, and is "marked" In American Standard 
gauge.  It's been that way for a while now.

&gt;The wire size list is attached.

&gt;One of the problems is that metric wire, when sold in the US, is often
&gt;marked with the closest equivalent US wire gage size.  For instance, the
&gt;last time I bought Röslau wire from Schaff, it measured close to the US
&gt;wire size, not the metric gage marked.  So if you get #15 Röslau wire 
and
&gt;measure it, it will be most likely be .0354&quot; - or Metric 15 1/2 
gage.

&gt;Confusing, no?

&gt;&gt;Why not just buy metric wire? If I remember correctly, Don Manino 
and/or Kawai
&gt;&gt;did a lot of measuring several years ago and some of the wire sizes 
are
&gt;&gt;the same.
&gt;&gt;But not all. Do you still have that handout, Don?
