<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Hi Dave,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I would think, #13 was too thin. Did you mic
it?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

wire?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You all have probably helped fix throttle cables
yourselves, but<EM> I thought this was worth sharing.
