Dear Richard, I have encountered institutional Steinways with numerous stripped hammer flange screws. I have had excellent results using gap filling super glue in the hole--just enough to line the threads. Don't forget to shoot the screw with McLube, or you may have apermanent installation! If the first application of the glue does not hold, try a second. Good luck, Charles >Dear list, > >I've encountered a handful of stripped hammer flange screws on a model O.
