[CAUT] breaking strings, Kawai KG-2A (1997)

[Jim Busby]

So it's not quite a full 1/2 size? I have the cheap mics that only do
thousands... kind of.

Gage for gage, #12 metric wire is about 0.0005" smaller than 
#12 SAE, progressing in an orderly manner to about 0.0007" 
smaller at #20. There is less than 0.001" difference through 
the entire range.
