I've replaced two bass strings in almost 9 years and we have 125  
pianos.  Both were rehearsal pianos.  One was an upright in a general  
practice room, the other was the opera rehearsal instrument.  There  
was no panic.  I ordered the replacements and installed them when  
they came in.

Starting to get a lot more treble replacements.  But in over 20 years  
of working on pianos in state universities, I just haven't seen that  
many bass string replacements either.
