Rick,
    I did a series of 18 articles on upright rebuilding back in=
 the mid 90's.  The series was
titled BEHOLD THE UPRIGHT.   You might get some help from that as=
 to suggested
progress from bottom to top.  I have done hundreds of them and am=
 glad you haven't
given up.  Many still have great musical qualities to be=
 rediscovered.

Hi Folks,
I'm about to embark on an 1920's era upright partial rebuild.=
 Restring, New Hammers, Jack Springs, Butt Felts, Bridle=
 Straps,Dampers. I'm looking for any advice on order of tasks,=
 also, how many of you remove the keybed and string the piano on=
 its back? 
Do you use something to raise the piano up to a comfortable=
 height for stringing? I have a workbench that will hold 1,000=
 lbs ,also have tilter. I've committed Reblitz to memory and also=
 have most of the Spurlock pamphlets. Also, has anyone tried=
 Arlidge strings?
Soundboard ,ribs,and bridges are good , keys don't need rebushing=
 yet.   
Thanks,
Rick Ucci/Ucci Piano
