    You can find .016 steel singles anywhere, but I've not seen a wound one in that diameter. D'Addario does make a wound .017 though:

    If you're just looking for .016 string singles, go here:

    or here:

    Yeah, me neither...I'm just guessing that since (on JustStrings) the GHS DY Boomers started at .016, and from the popular brands and JS house brand I took a peek at nothing lighter than .018 it could be wound, vs. the GHS Plain Steels.

    D'Addario includes a .017 wound in the XL110 Nickel Wound sets and also sells them as multipak singles. I wouldn't trust a .016 bronze wound anyway as it seems like it would be very fragile at 16.5 lbs nominal loading.
    .016 is ok for stainless steel wire or .017 with SS core w/nickel wrap.

    Try it. What'll you lose besides 99 cents?
