Hi, from a construction standpoint, why do certain piano manufacturers in the last two sectors install the Capo d'Atro (see Steinway) while using Agrafes (on all strings, see Bechstein)?

What changes from a technical and sonic point of view?

Does the Capo d'Atro allow the strings to resonate sympathetically?

Thank you
