First, thanks to ALL who answered my last email about the D.C.!

I have a customer who wants the bass section of her 1914 Howard upright 
re-strung, but I'm not sure i want to take on the task. There are 42 total 
bass strings; 10 mono/32bi-chords. I've left the original strings on so as 
not to overstress the 87 year old+ full upright, as i thought it would be 
safer to take off old, replace with new as i go. But even at only 10 minutes 
per string (old off-new on) it's gonna take over EIGHT HOURS!!! So i'm 
thinking maybe I should refer it to another tech who has done lots of this 
type stuff before. Thoughts?

regards all!
