agraffes

[DMCKECH]

Regarding the recent postings concerning agraffes, I would like to mention
the article in the Journal from a few years ago that dealt with
replacement. Unfortunately we do not have an index for the last few years
so I have not found it yet. Anyone know what issue?

This particular article took all of the mystery out of the subject and I
have found it relatively easy to replace a set. The great piece of
information from the article is the use of a counterbore to set the
position correctly. It really helps in cutting down the use of the washers
and the over tightening problem. I believe Pianotek sells the counterbore
but I found one in a machine tool catalog for less money.
