<P align=left>I have a customer who has had about 10 agraffes break =
in the
past couple of years. The only thing to do is get it out and put =
a new
one back. On this piano, all of them broke horizontally at the =
string
holes. That left the bottom half of the argraffe and was pretty =
easy to
get out with my agraffe installation tool. When the screw breaks =
off it
can be harder to get it out, but it too can be done.</P>
<P align=left>I don't have much by way of suggestions. It's =
not rocket
science, but it can be a pain in the......</P>
