bass bridge removal

[Paul Chick (Earthlink)]

Andre Bolduc presented this topic at the PTG Convention and Institute in
Kansas City.  It covers recapping a bridge without removing it. This
approach won't work for every situation, but it's worth researching before
you begin. He has a video (DVD) available on this class topic.  I don't know
its price.  He does retail his products through Pianotek.  His time for a
complete recapping job is about two hours.

Subject: bass bridge removal

I am going to give a quote to a customer on recapping a straight bass 
bridge. I have not done one of these repairs other than when I was in 
College too many years ago. I plan to send the bridge elsewhere to have the 
work done. Their request was to have the bridge intact as much as possible. 
My questions are how much labour time is expected in removing and 
reinstalling the bridge? How is the best way to remove the bridge?
Many Thanks,
