I doubt very much the variance was as much as 9 thousanths of an inch. That would be bizarre music wire, indeed! (since there is a difference of one thousandth between sizes). If you are measuring to those tolerances, you need a quality micrometer, with a good friction stop, and with a venier scale or a digital readout. Educated guesses aren't good enough. If you lack a good friction break, technique of turning can give a variance of at least as much as .001". Music wire does vary a bit, but what you are claiming is far outside my experience.
