  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.=20

    You all have probably helped fix throttle cables yourselves, but I =
thought this was worth sharing.   =20

    What a job!
