      You'll also need to do some spoon-bending because the new wippens
come with spoons which probably won't be set right for the piano in
question. First, sort the new wippens according to which angle the spoons
stick out at, that is, to the right, to the left, or straight up, because
each type goes in a different section of the piano. Backchecks and
bridle wires will need regulation too. Unless you've done a lot of
regulation (especially dampers), I'd plan a couple of days to do this job.

Good luck with it!
