[CAUT] agraffe leveling

[Bob Hull]

Benjamin,

Pushing down on the string would be trying to move the string towards an impermanent position and could result in poor termination.  Pulling up too hard could damage the termination surface in the brass of the agraffe.

Hi Sloane,
Usually not very much movement up is available, so 
one should not be too agressive in lifting the string and leave something to 
work with.

“I tried pulling up the left string”
 
Do you push down strings also?

I was attempting to level the strings on a newer Yam C6 the  other day.   According to Goss's leveling device, all the tenor  agraffes were way off.   I tried pulling up the left string to level  but couldn't make enough of a difference.   A bad batch of agraffe  drilling?   I guess in this situation you have to fit the hammer to  what you've got?
