I noticed too that it may be advisable to have some good tool to ream the seat of the agrafes, as even when reinserting in the original place, we may uses some washers to have it straight, and then the string's height is compromised more than wanted. Nowadays, if the piano is worth it, a new set of agrafes not too expensive. And new berilium (?) bronze rods in the reinforced agrafes as seen in some Bosendorfers or German pianos ( I writed about using Iridium, it was a mistake). The same rods can be used to replace a worn capo. Best to all. Isaac OLEG Entretien et reparation de pianos.

Not that it's a big deal to turn them around with an agraffe wrench and then turn them back, but if it doesn't really matter...
