Snap Crackle Pop!

Try drill bit oil. Too much friction.

  I wonder how Goose Juice or Protek applied at the agraffe, would help?

    It is common on cheap chinese agraffes.  You are lucky no strings broke.  I've had that happen on new pianos coming out of the box.  Plan on letting down to a pop and then smoothly pulling up to pitch.

      Hi all.  I did a warranty tuning on an Essex baby grand today and here was the story on every string that had an agraffe: 
       
      Pull (no pitch change) 
      Pull (a little pitch change)
      Pull (POP! at the agraffe and the string goes way sharp)
      Bring down to pitch.  
       
      I don't tune a lot of new grands in this neck of the woods.  Is the popping noise typical?
