Hi Ed,

I think you mean that the plastic deformation limit has to be slightly
exceeded--if you wish the *kink* to stay. If it were not exceeded, the kink
would not be created at all.

I've been doing a similar thing but at 90 degrees--lifting the strings just
on the tuning pin side of the agraffe--it works very well and seats the
strings at the top of the agraffe too. (More bang for the buck?) But I like
your idea for strings that have already been leveled.
