Steinway M Agraffe - Broke?

[Mike Kurta]

    Terry:
    If you can pick up a couple of small diameter left hand drill bits at a
good hardware or home center, this might be even easier.  As you drill into
the brass, often the bit will grab the brass and the drill will spin the
agraffe  right out in your hand.  Really makes you look like a pro!

agraffe. Never saw one, but I'll betcha when I go to this appointment, I'll
look like an experienced pro on the first try (hopefully the guy won't be
staring at me!) - and all because of input from this list. What a great
resource. Thanks again David.
