I don't know Joe! Are you counting everything?: removing the action and keys, putting keys in key clamps, numbering keys, soaking out/removing old bushings, repairing cracked key buttons as needed, getting the glue ready, selecting proper felt thickness, ironing felt (yes I do this), cleaning and lubing the keypins, fitting the keys back on the keyframe, did I leave anything out? I'd say 3-4 hours is more realistic for the complete job. But maybe I'm a slowpoke ; ) Rainy Friday afternoon. Should be working...Don't really feel like it.
