[pianotech] hours and costs to restring a Yamaha G2

[Don]

Hi,

A local client has asked me for a quote on restringing a rather ancient Yamaha G2. The pin block is ok--but oversize pins will be needed. It is starting to break strings at the capo bar in the mid treble. I have four questions.

1. Might this piano benefit from rescaling? (Bridges are good and would not be moved)?

2. How many hours are required to dress the capo bar, repin and restring?

3. Will "shoe shining" the pressure bar be good enough?

4. How much would you charge for such a job?

Thanks in advance.
