Yes, at best, it can make a tuning run into overtime. Maybe I meant
"familiar" as in "acquainted with" like the pyramids of Egypt.

Two agraffes have already been replaced on the Steinway in question.
After charging her plenty for a third repair, I think she's getting
closer to having it restrung...so I won't have to get _too_ familiar
with this proceedure!

I just realized I have a same-era model "A" to tune this morning. I
wonder what the failure rate on Steinway agraffes is. Hmmm.
