The answer from Yamaha

And that´s why it would be better to use world standard in the future of a
global market, also in the US.

The wire size list is attached.

One of the problems is that metric wire, when sold in the US, is often
marked with the closest equivalent US wire gage size.  For instance, the
last time I bought Röslau wire from Schaff, it measured close to the US
wire size, not the metric gage marked.  So if you get #15 Röslau wire and
measure it, it will be most likely be .0354" - or Metric 15 1/2 gage.

Confusing, no?
