I will share an experience that worked for this sort of thing. Working with a local rebuilder replacing a block in an SS-B the string hight was different from tenor to high treble. The correction was also a fix for string rendering problems under the capo. Turned plate upside down and ground capo flat. Also ground a groove in it and inserted a steel rod. Sealed it in with jb weld. Worked beautifully. Another thing that was discovered was a small flaw in the casting here and there in the form of air bubbles. Could easily account for one string that sings beautifully while it's neighbor is a dud.

That would make the termination point sharper, while still retaining some of the agraffe advantages, or would it still be a noisy termination?
