What methods do some of you us to keep paint from getting into the agraffe plate holes and threads when you repaint a grand plate? (I have removed the old agraffes and removed the paint that was on them from the last job somebody did on this piano. I won't repaint these but rather buff them up to their natural beauty.) 2. What is your favorite way to ream agraffes? (I wish I could find the notes I had from Paul Revenko-Jones on his method. These are an odd size or I would just replace them. Most of the archive stuff on agraffe reaming is really about agraffe seating.) Thanks for your suggestions. Bob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
