Look in the APSCO (American Piano Supply Co.) catalog under "Agraffes, Bridge Repair." That said, the only use I have found for them is when one note splits out at the end of the bridge, or at a cut; and that only on an old, decrepit upright that is not worth doing a better repair to. I would not attempt to use them on an extensive repair like a whole bass bridge. They greatly increase bearing on the notes where they are used. There are two types: one uses a screw to attach, the other has pins that go into holes drilled in the bridge. Don't bother with the screw type. Bill Maxim.
