Dale, I tuned a 1903 Sohmer 9B (about 6') with bridge agraffes last week, something I hadn't noticed before since I am not always observant. The fact that the piano sounded awful probably had nothing to do with the bridge agraffes, since the whole thing was a total mess. Except the case, which at one time was quite exquisite. The owner had it sandblasted and refinished. It's interesting to look at, as long as you don't regard it as a musical instrument or know anything about refinishing.
