new bass

to
lower the tension in the entire piano to<BR>> do this, or can I get =
by with
taking all the bass strings off and putting<BR>> the new ones on? I =
have done
this before, but I'd like to know if maybe I<BR>> was just lucky do =
it
without big problems. Thanks<BR>> <BR>> Richard<BR>> <BR>>
