Terry, You said you could clean a set of strings for about $50. Do you mean you could take off the whole set of bass strings, clean them, and reinstall them for a customer and only charge $50? Or is the $50 in addition to whatever you would charge for removal and reinstallation? At any rate I would be interested in your describing the cleaning process. I run in to pianos frequently that could have the sound greatly improved if the strings were cleaned, but the customer definitely would not want to spend over $150 for the job. To remove a single wound bass string and install a new one (universal), I charge $16 (if done during a regular service call).
