I've used a Dremel tool for years to unstring a piano.  However, I use the
fiber reinforced emery wheels instead of a metal saw blade.  Yep!  Fast and
fun!

Some time ago someone wrote on this list about cutting the wires at the
agraffes with a small toothed saw on a dremmel tool.  I  tried it yesterday
on a Steinway M that I'm restrining--what fun!  More fireworks than the
4th. of July.  And when the string is about to go, it suddenly feels like
you are cutting butter.

I tried to find the post in the archives last night to thank the post-er in
person, but couldn't find it.  Hope he reads this and knows how grateful I
am for the good tip!
