($450 if the piano is in the shop). To restring and repin a grand piano is $1600. That does NOT include: cleaning, refinishing and/or repairing or shimming the soundboard, cleaning and/or refinishing and lettering the plate, replacing the damper felts and regulating the damper system, which I highly recommend, and a new pin block, which I also highly recommend. If you want me to do all of those things too, it will cost another $1200 - $1500, depending on the condition of the soundboard, plus transportation, of course. So check with your local contractor, and see if the price they quoted includes all of what I said my "stringing" job does NOT cover, before you send me a piano.
