I don't have any of my scale stuff here at home 
to try & check but I'd say the chances are pretty 
good that it will be larger than a 15. Granted, 
unless you do restringing jobs, one doesn't need 
those larger sizes too often, but when you need 
it, you need it. Wire's cheap. Order at least a ¼ 
lb. pkg. of the larger sizes. :-D

But for next week, is there another tech there 
that would loan you some of the larger sizes? Just in case?
