[pianotech] Broken Agraffes

Dear List,

I need some advice on this:  I have a client with a 1925 Steinway B that was
rebuilt in 1988 that hasn't been tuned in at least 3 years.  It's currently
30 cents flat and according to the owner, last winter 4 agraffes broke off
one at a time as the piano isn't played often.  The question is whether to
try to bring the piano up to pitch and replace the 4 (or potentially more)
broken agraffes, or just go ahead and replace them all and restring.  Any
thoughts on this?  Thanks, everybody.

Eric Donnelly, RPT
