List Members: I was called out today to service a Schafer & Sons SS-51 grand, circa 1985. As I walked in the door, the owner informed me that he had discovered a problem with the piano, which had recently been retrieved from storage. He pointed out a broken bichord agraffe on C3. Silently wishing I had known about this ahead of time, I precede to extract the stub on the agraffe, which was broken off below the level of the plate. To my chagrin I found that the agraffe was not the same size and possible not the same threading as my replacement parts. My micrometer showed the agraffe to be .222 in diameter, and the standard replacement agraffe measured .224. Does anyone know where to get replacement agraffes of the correct size for this piano? I assume the piano is a Korean make. Thanks, Pat Poulson
