agraffes

[Isaac OLEG]

Owen,

I've find that string plane can hardly be considered for more than 2
or 3 unissons at once, and even then there are 1) seasons, and 2)
places on the bridge where the plane is never perfect back of the
dampers or near the agraffes.
What count is the plane to be correct at the strike point, and the
hammers are filed slanted if necessary on some brands before they
correct the spacing at the break and allow for a more vertical motion
of the shank.

SO this go for a lot of 3 dimensionnal work, better have good eyes /
mind (I don't have any of these !!)

Can't be more explicit, the police is reading !

Best
