   Wrong assumptions on both counts.  Japanese wire sizes  are 1/2 size 
larger than ours  thus making your first wire size 13  1/2.  Measure it with a 
micrometer & you'll see.  Been there  done that.

Tom asked: "Just unstrung an older Kawai model 500 grand. I was  astonished 
to see that 
their first wire size was a #14. Thinking about rescaling this down in  
tension a bit. Anyone out there have any experience with rescaling this  
mode?. This looks like the pre-cursor to the KG2 model."
 
Tom,
I wouldn't! The soundboards on that model are quite thick and a #14  wire is 
appropriate. (Ya have to look at the Whole picture.<G>) It  behooves you to 
get a Scaling Program and play around with this sort of  stuff.<G> Then 
practice/experiment on your own stuff. (which entails a  lot of "oops! Better Change 
That!"<G>)
