Article about bridge agraffes - function, types

[Farrell]

Just curious Ron, what is your reasoning for three points of string contact 
(front, center and rear) rather than two? Two would bind the string up in 
some desired way. I can see that three points would lock the string in much 
more firmly. But two could also - much like the forward termination on most 
pianos whether it is an agraffe or the capo bar.
