I've used it in a pinch to tie up a muffler for a little old lady.  It
didn't hold long...  must not be rust resistant.

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!
