String vibrations (was Re: Stuart)

[Farrell]

Is anyone aware of the shape of these agraffes where the string contacts the
agraffe? What I am getting at is that with a conventional forward
termination agraffe up near the pinblock, there is some theory regarding
getting a smooth curve shape to the interior of the agraffe hole. Are these
bridge agraffes string entry areas shaped in some specific way or are they
just squared off as the picture might suggest?
