We've got a guy in LA, Mike Farnell, who's been doing onsite stringing for me for 20+ years---he's the best, and the fastest, stringer I've ever seen. On a small (6' and under grand, he can destring and string (not including other protocols like dampers, bridge pins, agraffes, capo bar) in 5 hours. That is not a misprint. Now, as we get older and wiser, we do onsite work in two or even 3 days, because we do all these other protocols above and more. Plus, he's a great guy, funny as heck, weird as they come, which is just what I like....<g> David Andersen
