I've never found a broken tuning pin nor has an agraffe broken during a tuning, but it is always fun to come upon a grand where the strings of one unison are higher than the rest. This tends to pique your interest. What! How can that be???? It is the mark of a broken agraffe, probably at the stem. Then the fun begins... ----Joel Rappaport Round Rock, Texas Sy Zabrocki wrote: > > How often do tuning pins break while tuning? Apparently not very often.

Also, I have never seen a broken agraffe. Have I just been lucky?
