Marcel - You must be in great shape though, depending, of course, upon the size of the piano. It would be much easier, faster, and possibly economical if you could employ an assistant on the other end. Otherwise, it would help if you have the lid off (and good light), no obstacles / trip hazards between one end of the piano and the other, and remove any belt buckles or other paraphernalia (chains, knives, holsters, naval rings, etc.) that could scratch the piano as you run by, and a way of conveniently suspending the waiting strings so you don't have to bend down to the floor to retrieve each one. The rhythm will begin to take over. I can't see a pleasant outcome in having all the wires protruding through the agraffes to start. bon chance - David Skolnik Hastings on Hudson, NY At 10:57 AM 4/23/2009, you wrote: >I'm looking to improve (save time) on my bass strings installation >and would like to know how some of you guys proceed.
