Hello Brian

I usually drop the tension on the strings in this order:
    left string of each plain wire trichord
    left string of each bichord   =20
    every second monochord   =20
    centre string of each trichord   =20
    remainder of bass strings
    remainder of treble strings

However, I have heard of techs just chomping through the wire from one =
end to the other with cutters without dropping tension at all!  I'm not =
that brave.
