Are agraffes loose enough to be used as string spacers, an accident waiting

<br> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>2.) In a decent quality grand
( rhymes with hamburger ), on another showroom floor, would it be foolhardy
of me to try to force a few misaligned agraffes far enough that the strings
could be levelled in the same plane as the rest of them? These agraffes
are tight, I could not budge them with the small agraffe tool that fits
in the combination handle.</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1></font></font>
