rebuilding decisions hammer sticking

[Marcel Carey]

I rebuilt one of these quite a few years ago and it was a challenge to
find a strike line in the treble. The problem is these aggraffes.
There is so little you can do to find the good strike line. It's
impossible to grind the plate unless grinding the base of the
aggraffes at the same time. You'll just have to live with the last
octave that will never sound like a modern piano.
