[CAUT] agraffes

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Karen


If there is a problem with getting the action regulation good because 
the height difference then you have a nice problem in front of you.  You 
cant add or subtract washers because then you will alter the alignment 
of the agraffe when tight.  Milling the underside of the agraffe would 
essentially do the same thing... tho you could do this AND subtract 
washers to get your result.  Milling the plate itself would work I 
suppose, but any milling to do this would be really fun to achieve a 
perfect result with.

You could always replace agraffes as part of a restringing job... have 
enough new agraffes on hand so that you can choose which ones align when 
tight and are at the same time at a more uniform height.

    Willem,
    I understand the usage of washers for aligning agraffes
    perpendicular to the
    the strings; in this case there are visible differences in heights.  I'm
    thinking of removing some of the washers and adding to others so the
    heights
    are within a few thousandths of an inch.
