Not cost effective...you have to set yourself up with tools etc. each time or once for the full job. Make sure to add that time factor into your bid...certainly the top treble sections are done more often on highly played pianos. Unless you string a lot (I don't) you will be slow...there are a lot of things in restringing beyond just replacing the strings...bridge condition...bridge pins...new agraffes, treating the capo, new tuning pins or reuse existing pins... Question: Why do you and the customer think it may need restringing?

Not immediately, but in the future. Does this job HAVE to be done at one time, or can it be broken up into sections? Do a section once every six months, as the clients budget allows.
