[pianotech] Restringing Q's

[David Love]

Restringing is only a part of the restringing job.  Pinblock, soundboard
repair (assuming replacement is not in order), resurfacing, repining and
renotching the bridge, reshaping the capo, changing agraffes, refinishinging
the plate, reassessing the scaling (not to mention damper work) should all
be considered within the scope of a "restringing" job.  That argues for
doing it all at once, pulling the plate and being as thorough as possible.
Not likely you'll have the strings off of this piano again for many decades.
You should take advantage of that opportunity to address all the things you
can that might need attention while you have the strings off of the piano.

I have a client who may be interested in a restringing job.  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.
