I would try and reuse the existing pins if they are reasonably tight. Just back them off one turn and detach the strings. Prewind on a dummy pin the new string and transfer the coil. Will you have to remove the bass strings? I would estimate a full day to get it strung and the dampers back in, bass strings back on then add 3 tuning visits to the cost in advance and schedule them 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks following the date of the stringing. One comment, if the tenor strings are breaking due to rust, that doesn't bode well for what is likely to happen in the treble or the upper bass. The tenor section is usually the most durable.

Seems to me there should be no problem doing this on-site (in the home). We are going to assume the pinblock is adequate for tuning pins one or two sizes up (I realize that may turn out to not be the case). I need to give him a price. How many hours would anyone be willing to estimate is appropriate to allot for this service? Thanks.
