Kent,

True. I forgot about the shop days at home! (Replaced a bunch there) But here at BYU the pianos are fairly new so we never need new ones, except the occasional one broken upon removal. I'm spoiled here...

There can be plenty of reasons to replace agraffes. Never say never; you obviously haven't seen some of the hopeless agraffes that have come through my shop.

We never replace agraffes, mainly because we refurbish them like Paul Revenko-Jones does. WAY better than new ones because new ones aren't shaped correctly either. Waste of time to just replace them.
