RE: string terminationOK, my brain stopped right here.

Why is that "silastic" silicon-looking stuff necessary?  To stop buzzing =
in the string segment between the front (left, in this picture) =
horizontal termination and the center termination (where the string goes =
down)?  That segment is, what, half a dozen string diameters long: is =
that really a problem?

Or does it buzz when the speaking length lifts up above the forward =
termination?  (Or ditto for the rear duplex?)

I've seen how string underlayment felt works to quiet noise, but those =
string segments are usually at least a couple of inches long.

  This is his latest agraffe, which is a better design. The silastic is =
there to control string noise, which is caused by the string vibrating =
against the sides of the string loading slot.
