[CAUT] left to right or R to L?

[Jim Busby]

Paul,

What Fred said, plus... Here is a crazy reason I go from tenor to treble; I like to go really fast using two people, and sometimes three - when I'm past the bass strings the bass stringers can start putting on bass strings. Sounds nuts, but it works for me. Just get the ribbon in the lower treble and everything looking fairly good before you start the bass.

We want to have the piano back in service in 3 days, if possible. Sometimes there are several people working on the piano; keys are over here, stack there, and lid and case parts off with Keith being touched up. A real Piccadilly Circus at times, but fun!

Dear List,

I've always restrung grand starting at note 88, but am considering starting at the bottom of the plain wire and work up to give me better control at getting better coils.  Are there opinions either way from y'all?

Thanks

Paul
Yep, tenor to treble is my preference. Somewhat better access to coils, and I like the fact that things speed up as you move along (thinner wire, easier to handle, no more walking around a large instrument to get to the hitchpins, no more fishing wire around struts, no more agraffes).
