 This is original, and it's a better scheme than what Sohmer used in their
 bridges with agraffes.
 
 H&D's have agraffes with the holes at an angle, and they are installed
 alternating the orientation for each neighboring unison. As a result, the net
 twisting forces exerted onto the bridge and soundboard are cancelled out.
 
 Sohmers, on the other hand, like to pull their bridges right off.

I have an H & D upright in my shop that I would love to fix up sometime-if I 
could ever afford myself and find the time.  It has aggraffes on the bridges.
