Robert Schaff sells extractors, (page 53), but extractors are made not only for agraffs and/or tuning pins, but for any screw or bolt that's broken. You can buy reverse thread extractors at most hardware store. I once had a hollow handled holder, where I could store the drill bits and three or four difference size extractors.

But I can’t find it again anywhere. I am working on an old (no S/N) Ivers & Pond with a double string agraffe that broke. However a ¼” agraffe is too big and a 7/32” feels too small. Either way the ones I bought would have the string sitting too tall. I bought some metric agraffes for and notice that they have the right string height. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
