<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Matthew - Why use "universal"=
strings? They turn out to be time-consuming to trim to length=
and are individually more expensive than "bespoke" new strings.=
You'll get all the practice you need in replacing bass covered=
strings by simply putting on a set of proper bass=
strings! And YES you must remove the action for this=
re-stringing - you'll damage the dampers otherwise and tie=
yourself in knots dodging the action parts.</FONT></DIV>
