Bass String Installation

[Dean May]

Removing all the bass strings first is standard operating procedure for
me. I've done lots of them this way with no apparent harm.

Esteemed list,

I've got a new set of bass strings (and pins) to install.  My plan was
to 
install them one or two at a time so the changes in pressure on the
plate 
would be minimized, and I'd planned to do it this weekend.  However, the
pins 
shipment was waylaid, and they may not arrive in time for the weekend.

Is there any harm in destringing the entire bass section and doing
cleanup 
while waiting for the arrival of the pins?  It's a 1921 6'1" Baldwin
Grand.

Thanks,
John Dorr
Helena, MT
