Ron N The difference in tuning between the agraffe and capo sections I think is the counter bearing felt in the tenor section. This felt offers more friction than a metal counter bearing bar and as such the capo section is easier to tune. I've replaced this felt with a half round brass bar on a Baldwin R last year and tuning is easier in that section. Would the piano gods send me spinets for eternity when I install a brass counter bearing bar in the tenor section of a S&S L this summer ? I have a few pianos I would be happy to burn in sacrifice to appease them if necessary.
