Hi Don, I'll have to disagree here on a couple of points. First, the technician doesn't make any system stable. He/she can make it unstable with poor tuning technique, but can't make an inherently unstable system stable with just tuning. Any other methods of enhancing stability are neither quick, nor easy, nor a standard field repair. Second, agraffes don't make the system inherently more stable than a capo. They may require a little different tuning technique, but there won't be any real difference in stability. Ron N
