Steinway M Agraffe - Broke?

[Farrell]

"I've never seen a chunk of plate come out."

Oh, come on now! I was only kidding!

Thank you very much for the complete-sounding treatise on the broken agraffe. Never saw one, but I'll betcha when I go to this appointment, I'll look like an experienced pro on the first try (hopefully the guy won't be staring at me!) - and all because of input from this list. What a great resource. Thanks again David.

Terry Farrell
