[pianotech] re design

[Gene Nelson]

Thanks Paul,
I will be a bit more specific. I have a 1880's Hallet&Davis 8'9" that will come into the shop soon. Much of the belly work has been completed. It has agraffe's up through note #88.
I had considered the possibility of installing a capo bar to replace the agraffes. Either in just the top or top two sections.
I am curious if any living techs that read the forum have had experience with similar redesign issues.
I have looked at Bosendorfer closely and think that a similar type of bar is possible.
Regards,
Gene

  Why yes, Gene, Erard did just this in about 1811. :-)

    Hello list,
    Just curious if anyone out there has had the chance to design and install successfully - a capo bar/s that would take the place of and eliminate agraffes in the top section/s above the dampers?
    Anyone ever consider doing this?
    Thanks,
    Gene
