Friction/Buzz at Agraffes

Rob,

Have you tried using a very small piece of bushing cloth over the middle
string and barely tucked under the outside two?  This way you can slide the
cloth up or down to control which pitches are eliminated.

Something to think about...

Short of re-dressing the Capo bar, the best short term fix has been a
drop of c/a glue placed near the duplex bar [not capo bar]. Used to use
Titebond, but it seemed to cause rust after a few years. I find that
threading bushing cloth kills too much tone.

Looking forward to others' ideas on this.
