I'd say a chart is a moot point, because you need to buy at least a 1lb or 500kg roll of each of the sizes in your scale to string. I never count or weigh what I use...just watch the coils and reorder when they are getting close. That's not a a wise-ass answer, just a practical reality. 1lb or 500kg, of each size, depending on whether its USA or European material is what you need to start.

Subject: How much plain wire material needed for restringing small and mid-size grands?
Hi all,
I know that I've read somewhere a chart with estimations of how much plain wire (in weight, or in coils with a certain weight) is needed for a complete restringing of a typical small or mid-size grand, but I can't seem to find it anywhere right now. All of you with experience, could you give me some kind of ballpark figure, or direct me to a such a chart?
The question is a general one, but the first project where I'd need to land close enough regarding needed material is the restringing of a Steinway A.
