SantinoDad-
I found:
1) the harder job is to remove the shades from the valences, and
2) it's better to make the new strings a bit longer than recommended
Here is a nice written restringinging guide, from the
www.unitedshade.com Web site.
Also, you should add a "signature" to your profile. It contains whatever info you want; most people put info about their coach there, so they don't have to type it into each message. Instructions for adding a signature are
here.
