Ok, I'll buy that. But why would that be difficult? It seems all you would need to do is run a thread from the agraffe through the bridge pins and use whichever hitch pin is in the right place. It's not really going to matter whether you end up laying it out exactly the way it was the first time around. Within one note, see if the one tied string aligns better on the right or the left. And if the originals are not in a good spot, it's really a simple matter of just lopping off the leftovers and installing a few new, better positioned, ones. Better yet, lop 'em all off and go vertical! Maybe I'm just getting too used to replacing all of them.
