Then, pound the note repeatedly, while lowering one string about a 5th and raising to pitch again. Compare the tone of the two strings again. This should give you an idea of potential gains in tone... if any. This is a Q & D trick that has worked well on old beaters with the "tubby" bass. It spares the need for un-hitching/twisting strings, the curious appearance of "new" false beats, and risk to flesh, blood and gold paint. You can decide in a hurry if it's any help. Please pardon the abscence of optimism, but I find servicing the 743's, beyond tuning, tends to underwhelm even the most meager expectations.

First question should be, do they need it? If you think they do, try one of the strings on one of the pianos, and see if there is a noticeable difference. Then go from there.
