[pianotech] Capo Bars

That's ok. Everyone else got there, too---string breakage. Transient noise  
as well.

Poor  choice of words, the material to be used was part of the question.

Steel  rod....steel string. String breakage?

Why do manufacturers harden capo bars rather than cast  (or grind) the 
underside of the strut flat, rout out a groove to receive a  steel rod of proper 
radius, shape and hardness and insert it there where it  could, when it’s worn, 
be easily changed and where the consistency would be  more easily controlled.  
Is there a compelling reason not to do it that  way?   
Secondly, if I were to do that to a piano where I have  some concerns about 
the hardness and or consistency of the capo, what  specific material and 
diameter would be best to use for the rod  insert?   
Any thoughts appreciated?
