Sorry for the delay in answering this post Ric. Their server was down 
when I originally went to look at the image.

Stuart uses an agraffe style of device under the overhead bars, which 
run throughout the compass of the piano. The 'agraffes' are similar 
to those used under the capo of a Blüthner, except that Stuart uses a 
ceramic insert in the brass instead of a steel pin. At least that's 
the way it has been for the pianos I've seen close up.

Best regards,
Ron O.
