After about eight hours of twisting, cutting and hammering, all 230 strings are attached to tuning pins, pins driven into the pinblock, and the strings are resting in place on top of the the bridges and soundboard. This completes the belly work on the Baldwin F. In review, that included a new soundboard, new bridge caps, new pinblock, new strings and new tuning pins. This cost about $1000 for materials, and about 125 hours of labor. Not a small task!
