I have used really thick pieces of wire for splicing broken bass strings 
on concert grands. Otherwise, it is very rare to see a #23 string.

I was just reading on line about the Smith-Kettlewell micrometer which 
is recommended by a sight-impaired piano technician in San Francisco:

"For general use in making precision measurements of mechanical dimensions.

This is a standard mechanical micrometer which has been adapted with an 
expanded braille scale. The scale is on a drum whose diameter is larger 
than the "thimble" on which visual markings are inscribed.

Can be used by blind machinists, automotive repair technicians, piano 
tuners, electronics and fabrications technicians, etc."
