[CAUT] plate screws (thanks!)

[Mark Cramer]

Thanks all,

 

Jurgen, I'm glad to know you can import these quality screws for us, this
can be a life-saver in a rebuilding.

 

Thanks for the page number Ken, I forgot that I actually have the new
catalog, and John's likely right that I've mis-measured 14's as 13's.

 

Best regards,

Mark Cramer,

Brandon University

Mark, try the sources mentioned. If you come up with nothing, I have acces
to high quality flat and oval head nickel plated piano screws form Germany.

The plate screws on a 1926 M & H I'm reassembling are starting to get a
little tired. The pin-block screws are #13's and the rim screws are #16's,
neither of which seem to be available through Pianotek or Schaff.

Why was everything so oversized in those days for M and H.  Man, are they
heavy!!

Oversized?? At under 1/4" shank diameter, #13 is hardly bigger than pressure
bar screws on uprights. I think on most decent grands, the pinblock and
plate screws are more like 5/16" (#20) or bigger.
