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. <?smaller>Jurgen Goering Piano Forte Supply (250) 754-2440 info@pianofortesupply.com http://www.pianofortesupply.com<o:p></o:p> <?/smaller></div> </body> </html>
