[CAUT] Polishing Agraffes

[David Love]

You only get the chatter if you try to remove too much material at once.  A
very light reaming doesn't seem to do that.

Take a close look (with a decent microscope) at the results of using the
reamer. You might be startled. All they do is (mostly) get rid of the string
cut, leaving large chatter marks in the brass perpendicular to the string
plane. 

 

I suppose you spend a great deal of time on bridges; I do. Why not treat the
other end of the speaking length with equal care? My take.
