I tuned the Broadwood upright (Number 129708) of a new client last Saturday. I was intrigued to discover that both bridges have agraffes for all strings. In addition there are agraffes with built-in V-bar at the top of the strings. The bass bridge has a height of 2 3/4". The trichords are individual strings. The plate is of very solid design. I didn't realise that Broadwood uprights ever had bridge agraffes, unless it's been referred to on here previously and I missed it. There is a patent number stamped into each agraffe. The patent number for the top agraffes is 268062 Nice piano. I have to go back to replace a missing key covering (the customer forgot to tell me that one was mising and I didn't have any with me), so let me know if there is anything else I should measure or photograph!
