Unfortunately, he is gone for the winter and I didn't ask him where to locate this clips. I looked in the Schaff book and one from Player Piano Co., but they don't carry them.</BLOCKQUOTE> Look in the APSCO (American Piano Supply Co.) catalog under "Agraffes, Bridge Repair." That said, the only use I have found for them is when one note splits out at the end of the bridge, or at a cut; and that only on an old, decrepit upright that is not worth doing a better repair to.  I would not attempt to use them on an extensive repair like a whole bass bridge.  They greatly increase bearing on the notes where they are used.  There are two types:  one uses a screw to attach, the other has pins that go into holes drilled in the bridge.  Don't bother with the screw type.
