[pianotech] Agraffe Repair

[reggaepass at aol.com]

I bought some metric agraffes for and notice that they have the right string height.
If the metric agraffe is larger than the original, you could tap the hole to accommodate it.  Ditto for the 1/4" agraffe, which you would need to modify for your target string height.  Both are readily do-able.

I recently saw a listing for a kit that contained drill, tap, insert and handles for drilling out an Agraffe and replacing using an insert in the frame to hold the new Agraffe.  But I can’t find it again anywhere.  
I am working on an old (no S/N) Ivers & Pond with a double string agraffe that broke.  However a ¼” agraffe is too big and a 7/32” feels too small.  Either way the ones I bought would have the string sitting too tall.  I bought some metric agraffes for and notice that they have the right string height.
