[pianotech] Agraffe Reduction

[David Love]

I think it goes farther than that doesn't it?  The flat bottom agraffes
certainly do anyway.  I still see agraffe failure periodically on Steinway
pianos as recent as 1970's and 1980's.

Another reason to replace rather than recondition older agraffes, especially
since some of the older agraffe stem joints are already stressed to the
point of being weakened.  

This is particularly true of a series of Steinways in the serial number
range of 235000 to 260000, I believe. Correct me, anyone, if those numbers
are wrong.
