tune, chip with oversized pins?

[David Love]

I don't get the question exactly.  Are you replacing tuning pins without
restringing?  The whole set?

Subject: tune, chip with oversized pins?

 

hi all

 

i looked for about thirty minutes in the archives for info on this topic,
but i didn't find an answer and i didn't want to wade through 336 more
results from google...

i'm drawing up an estimate for someone and i need to know how many tunings
to include.

so i'm looking in the "G" piano works labor guide for installing an entire
set of oversized pins, and it says it includes one tuning. now i guess i can
understand only needing a tuning and maybe a pitch adjust if you replace and
pull up-to-pitch one pin at a time as you go. but it seems that
one-atta-time is slower than all-at-once gang style. 

if you replaced all the pins gang style, you'd need to chip and tune a few
times right?

i think the question i need answered most is if i do it one at a time, which
i can do pretty quickly, is the tuning going to end up pretty close to pitch
when I'm done?

 

thanks all
