Hi, Rob:
Do you have the button/wedge?  Steinways have lock plates, so you'll need that wedge to make sure the leg stays in place, along with the screw.  You could make one, but it would take some time to get right.  Which is why the price is $8, 'cause it's not just the screw.

Greetings, 


I have a client with an 'M' that the movers lost the wood screws/ lag bolts for the pedal lyre. 


I found an $8 screw in the Steinway catalog, but I'm really hoping not to spend that much on a dang screw... 


In the catalog it says "screw - leg & lyre button/wedge 2-1/4". I'm guessing that's the part? So it sounds like it's 2-1/4" long. Does anyone have the dimensions (diam., thread count, etc.) and a photo, if possible, so I can hopefully pick up a couple of screws at the hardware store. 


Thanks, 







Regards,
