No argument with that.  I'm just amazed that any tone at all was able  
to be produced by some of the junk agraffes I've been finding in our  
Steinways from the late 60s and early 70s.  Unfortunately, I don't  
have a way of taking a pictures.  Few were drilled in a straight  
line.  Many have no bevel in the hole at all -- just drilled straight  
through.  A reamer and flitz won't do much for that.   It's $186 (D)  
and a couple hours or so well spent to replace them.
