I realize you probably came upon the job= and had to deal with it. I wouldn't have what I need in my= vehicle and would have order the cord...question: are you= replacing with actual Yamaha cord or thread or something...?

It has taken 3 hours so far. I wasn't in my shop, so some of= that time was spent hunting for tools, supplies, etc. The old= cords were so wasted, they basically crumbled and I had to dig= them out of the slots. I have less than an hour left to= complete the job. I can easily see cutting an hour or an hour and a half off of= this procedure in the future, now that I've practiced the drill= 88 times<G>. Mr. Garrett, you might want to factor this into your "G Piano= Works" labor guide. Give it three hours for a safe estimate,= somewhere between rookie and master.
