<DIV> Brian,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A wire in the middle of the piano will be thicker than 15. And there is a possibility that it's a wound string, depending on how one defines "the middle of the piano." </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Having all wire sizes from 12 to 20 or so is a good idea. It'll save you return trips and will make you money.</DIV>
