<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343043301-14012008>I made the mistake
of thinking the other day, and I started wondering why piano strings are
terminated at the bridge on both the X and Y axis but at the capo bar, or
agraffe, on only the X, (or perhaps that's Y depending on how you are
looking at it), axis. We go to lengths to make sure the strings are seated
properly at the bridge so that there is a definite and precise termination in
both planes at the bridge and bridge pin. Why then is the lack of
termination in both planes not a problem at the agraffe and capo bar end?
