Agraffe tuning eaiser or not?

Jarred, List,

It would seem the relative tuning ease would be more related to the amount
of friction that exists in areas that contact the strings, and the degree
of tightness in the pinblock where the tuning pins are turned.

The comparison of a v bar versus an agraffe, within the total equation of
one being easier or not to tune, seems somewhat moot as both require some
minimum degree of deflection is order to help create one of the speaking
length termination points.
