This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Take all the strings off, then restring. Will you be attending to the bridges? I highly recommend that before you remove any strings, fully evaluate = the shape of the soundboard (crown between all ribs), downbearing = (front, rear, total, everywhere), and piano tone - soundboard = performance (especially in the killer octave area - form your own = opinion and be sure your opinion meshes well with the owner's opinion). = Those steps will help avoid a situation where the owner thinks the piano = is deficient in some way that actually relates to one or more of the = above issues and thinks that new strings will fix a soundboard problem. = I would also cover the issue that you can't guarantee that the = soundboard will perform exactly the same way after restringing as it did = before restringing.
