or tooth picks are great also ----- Original Message ----- From: John M. Formsma To: Pianotech List Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 8:40 AM Subject: Re: Who can help me? Why not repair the holes with shoe pegs or other similar strip of wood? Sometimes I don't want to go look for a shoe peg, so I slice off some wood from a hammer shank. Works fine with a bit of glue.

I wrote down the dimensions of the existing screws the last time I tuned the piano, but lost the information -- I think they're somewhere around 2 1/2 inches long. Does anyone know how long the screws are and their diameter? Jesse Gitnik NYC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
