---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Robert, what brand, size, age of piano are you talking about? Ed I don't quite understand what you are accomplishing by "hammering" the string into a new position. Could you explain further, please. Thanks Wim Greetings, > Ok, take a deep breath, make sure your eyes are protected and try this: >Place a dull screwdriver blade approx 1/8" from the agraffe,(not on the >speaking side,but between the proximal side of the agraffe and the string rest >felt).

This seems to allow the string to "hammer" itself into a new seating. >I have done this for a number of years and only had one string break,(and I >suspect that string was ready to break, anyway). > If the agraffe is loose enough to buzz,(which I am not sure how it would), >you can turn them with an agraffe tool while the strings are still on there. >Good luck, >Ed Foote RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
