I'm going to research this micrometer. Perhaps the numerals are
larger. That would be great. My special glasses for really
small things will come in handy as well. Thanks again for the
information.<br>

<dd>I have used really thick pieces of wire for splicing broken bass
strings on concert grands. Otherwise, it is very rare to see a #23
string.<br><br>
<dd>I was just reading on line about the Smith-Kettlewell micrometer
which is recommended by a sight-impaired piano technician in San
Francisco:<br><br>

<dd><font face="Verdana" size=2>This is a standard mechanical micrometer
which has been adapted with an expanded braille scale. The scale is on a
drum whose diameter is larger than the "thimble" on which
visual markings are inscribed.<br>
