Removing all the bass strings first is standard operating procedure for me. I've done lots of them this way with no apparent harm.

My plan was to install them one or two at a time so the changes in pressure on the plate would be minimized, and I'd planned to do it this weekend. However, the pins shipment was waylaid, and they may not arrive in time for the weekend. Is there any harm in destringing the entire bass section and doing cleanup while waiting for the arrival of the pins? It's a 1921 6'1" Baldwin Grand.
