Genuine 1983 Stwy. agraffes

[Jeannie Grassi]

Thanks, John, Ed, Steve, Fred, Rob, Richard, and anyone else I may have
overlooked.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to break the news to my client, who
was only expecting a tuning and ended up with a horrible sounding piano!

How much time should something like this take?  Should I recommend
restringing the whole piano?

It's a good idea to always run a tap through when replacing an agraffe.
