greetings,

            I recently took on a job for a small church with a Hazelton 
Brothers 6' grand that the pedal lyre just fell off, because the lyre sticks came 
out at one unknown time a long time ago and they kept using the piano, pedals 
and all. This caused the pedal lyre to "swing in the breeze" with use and as a 
consequence, the whole pedal lyre fell off because the screws were worked 
loose from use.  

             Removing the remaining 2, (of 4)  5/16" diameter x 2 3/4" long 
screws resulted in a search for replacements only to find they are no longer 
made. Does anyone know where I can obtain such obsolete fastners? Someone at a 
hardware store mentioned a place named Constantine's in New York. Has anyone 
heard of this place? The national 1-800 directory assistance has no phone number 
on them and typing in www.constantine results in web page under construction 
message, so I cannot even be sure if this is the right constantine company. 

thanks,
