[pianotech] Expanding Brackets time?

[Dean May]

There are some you can do in that amount of time, others take twice that. Be
careful not to lock yourself in.

Joe,

I just did a Wurlitzer (YC version) that had the expanding brackets with the
help of Roger Domeney, RPT.  We both agreed that we would allow about 4
hours to do the actual replacement in the future.  At least that's for a
couple of newbie/ first timers as far as brackets go.  It took about another
2 hours of regulation once I got it into the piano at the client's home.

I suppose once I had a half dozen or so under my belt, it would probably be
about 2-3 hours, plus minor regulation.

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Rob McCall
