For the North American market, it is sold in bulk to distributors who re-package it into smaller coils and mark it in American gauge numbers. There is a chart for comparing American and German gauges on my website. It is quite interesting to note that in small sizes, American gauge numbers are higher, 11.5 is the same in both gauges, and above 11.5 the American numbers are lower! See http://www.pianofortesupply.com/wiresizes.html Roslau used to include a little cheat sheet in each of the coils they packaged. The back had a chart of their gauges, the front has a neat old-fashioned advertisement (see below).
