And if you have a Palm Nailer you can take a little compressor with you, a
friend have tested a little one and was allowed to drive 15 pins before the
engine runs.

I hardly can envisage restringing without my Palm Nailer now.

And that perfect pin's height....

Cool

  Hi Richard,
  I have done some restringings in the house, with no problem.
  I put a drop cloth on the floor.
  Have all the sizes of strings you need, including the remanufactured bass
strings.
  Have the oversize pins available.
  Be sure to support the pinblock.
  Take the nicks out of the capo, and give it a coat of paraffin wax.
  Make sure bridge pins are firm, CA works well for this.
  I have found pin driving fluid to be a positive.
  Make sure that you check the tightness of the pins, you may have to go up
two sizes.
  If the pins are uniformly loose, you may not have to ream.
  Make sure that children are not allowed near you, and use eye protection,
and ear plugs.
  Good luck.
  I am sure others will correct any errors or omissions. :-)

    Hello, all,
        Piano restringing has always been a little out of my line of work,
as I do not have a shop. However, I have a good customer that is requesting
me to restring his grand on site, and I'm debating on whether I should
accept the job or not. Any advice?

    Richard
