Bass String Replacement

[Jon Page]

I have replaced bass strings_expediently_ by doing 2 to 4 unisons at a time.
If the pins are remaining in the block, use a dummy pin to make the coil
and transfer to the piano.  Dummy pin: drill hole slightly larger, cut pin 1/4"
below hole, a cut up to the hole will express the coil off.
