Have done what you propose. For the most part, you won't need to drill =
but a few holes. Plan it out, ahead and see which of the existing =
hitchpins will be usable, then procede. Not a big deal the way I see it. =
Definately have a discussion with your client first.
Regards,
Joe Garrett, R.P.T.

  Hi list!
  =20
  I am going to replace the bass strings in a little Steck grand (I =
can't recall the size), which is remaining in the client's home.  I want =
to add some tenor wound strings as the piano has a very bad case of =
"tenor tubbies" - by memory, the bass/tenor break is at notes 27/28 - =
too low for a piano of this size.  I am experienced in rescalling these =
strings. =20
  =20
  Question: Do you see any problems with drilling the plate for =
additional hitchpins while the piano is strung and at pitch?  I have not =
done this in someone's home before.  Of course, I will have to discuss =
it with the client first otherwise I think she might freak when I get =
out my big drill and start drilling holes in her piano! =20
  =20
