You can still find them at;</div> <div><br></div> <div>The link below shows his first type of agraffe, which would have a propensity to rotate the bridges off the panel.</div> <div><font face="Lucida Grande" color="#000000">http://overspianos.com.au/strtagr1.jpg</font></div> <div><br></div> <div>This is his latest agraffe, which is a better design. The silastic is there to control string noise, which is caused by the string vibrating against the sides of the string loading slot.</div> <div><font face="Lucida Grande" color="#000000">http://overspianos.com.au/strtagr2.jpg</font></div> <div><br></div> <div>The basic idea is very good. But the noisy slot problem needs addressing (I have tuned one of these pianos a few times, just in case some of you are wondering about my familiarity with the design).</div> <div><br></div> <div>Ron O.</div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>OVERS PIANOS - SYDNEY</b></font></div> <div><font color="#000000"><i>   </i></font><font color="#0000FF"><i>Grand Piano Manufacturers</i></font><font color="#000000"><br> _______________________</font></div> <div><font size="-2" color="#000000"><br> </font><font color="#000000">Web http://overspianos.com.au</font></div> <div><font color="#000000">mailto:ron@overspianos.com.au<br> _______________________</font></div> </body> </html>
