Cleaning strings

[Wallace Scherer]

Terry,

You said you could clean a set of strings for about $50. Do you mean you
could take off the whole set of bass strings, clean them, and reinstall
them for a customer and only charge $50? Or is the $50 in addition to
whatever you would charge for removal and reinstallation? 

At any rate I would be interested in your describing the cleaning process.
I run in to pianos frequently that could have the sound greatly improved if
the strings were cleaned, but the customer definitely would not want to
spend over $150 for the job. 

To remove a single wound bass string and install a new one (universal), I
charge $16 (if done during a regular service call).
