Thanks Stephen.  Yes, I think that with most modern pianos you could =
just get in there with the cutters, but the procedure you suggest is =
pretty much the way I figured it should really be done.  Brian=20

    Hello Brian
    =20
    I usually drop the tension on the strings in this order:
        left string of each plain wire trichord
        left string of each bichord   =20
        every second monochord   =20
        centre string of each trichord   =20
        remainder of bass strings
        remainder of treble strings
    =20
    However, I have heard of techs just chomping through the wire from =
one end to the other with cutters without dropping tension at all!  I'm =
not that brave.
