Steinway Aggraffe

[Mark Cramer]

Elizabeth,

I would recommend you order the variety pack from Steinway, in BOTH diams:

I was called to replace a broken bi-chord agraffe, on an early 80's L just
two weeks ago, and arrived with a complete variety of 7/32" agraffes!  :>(

Two weeks later, when the generic "supply-house" 1/4" agraffes arrived, the
holes turned out to be 2mm's higher than the original S & S part! (just try
turning that sucker down to match)

In any case, I should also ask whether this is a wound-string note, or plain
wire?

If it's wound, I presume you will unravel the coil in order to thread it
through the agraffe(s) and re-use? You may also want to take some splice
stock, just in case.

btw, this came one out w/o the easy-out, but you never know.

best regards,
Mark Cramer,
Brandon University

Dear List,
I've got an out of town customer who has called about a broken giraffe
on a 1980 Steinway M. Does anyone know what size that might be? I hate
to make the drive and show up with the wrong stuff.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Ward
