Thanks for the photos. They are interesting, though not directly
related to the Sohmer config. I was going to ask you some
questions about it until I looked at some of the previously unread posts,
going back to last August, and decided not to waste your
time. Just curious how you got such good pictures though, and would
you mind lending your camera to Ed Foote? Actually, probably not
necessary, as his last description was rather thorough.<br><br>

Actually, one question. Is the silicon their addition or yours?
Thanks<br><br>

<font size=2>I have never seen it, but I have been told that Stuart
pianos from the Land Down Under also have this agraffe set-up on their
bridges or something like that. I also wouldn't mind seeing a picture of
it, but my understanding is that the agraffes are of the type that are
split down the midddle and look (from above) as a big screw head (flat
screwdriver), with one of the sides lower than the other and with holes
for the strings drilled at the base of the taller side. I've often seen
such agraffes on various pianos. I wonder if this is what Stuart pianos
have on their bridges.</font></blockquote><br>
Jean-Jacques, here are some images of the Stuart agraffes;<br><br>

I'm not breaching any copyright with the images here, since I took the
photos and scanned them myself. The silicon is there to control agraffe
string noise (there is very little string clearance between the string
and the agraffe string slots.<br><br>
