Hi Dave,
I would think, #13 was too thin. Did you mic it?
I have done the same as you, given away, a small length of wire, for the good will. and yes, sometimes a piano job, does come from it.  It has been used in cheese slicers, and in the removal of automobile windshields.

  I had a call today from a guy who wanted to buy come pianos wire....about 36".   I asked him what size, he didnt know.  Told him that his piano would care what size the replacement wire is, and he said it wasnt for a piano.  Right.

  I agreed to give him some wire just for goodwill. He showed up with a lawn mower throttle cable with the internal wire corroded  and broken.  Number 13 piano wire.  I gave him about 6 feet of wire and told him to tell any of his friends who have pianos about me.    Gave me a dollar anyway. 

  You all have probably helped fix throttle cables yourselves, but I thought this was worth sharing.    

  What a job!
