'd like  those who do a complete grand regulation from time to time to 
Share how  much time they budget for the regulation part alone.  I'd like to  
keep repair & rebuild  separate.

Thanks
Andrew

   The answers will always vary from person to person & job  to job depending 
on several factors. Quickly one variable is installing new  parts. In this 
case everything you do from the time the parts are screwed on to  roughing in 
new rep springs adds to the amount of times around the entire reg  procedure. I 
know that it takes 60 to 80 hr. to replace & regulate, voice  & dial in the 
typical Steinway, Mason ,Baldwin etc.action when everything is  replaced & 
thoroughly regulated. The hours will vary depending on how much  
customizing,stanwoodizing, releading & futzing one does. In this case where  does it start & end 
is hard to track.
  Not the answer you wanted I know. Most existing action in good  
regulate-able shape can be significantly improved in 10 to 20 hrs, again  depending on 
the Murphy factor ,age ,condition etc.
  So how long does it take . I dunno?
