Julia,

Try www.constantines.com, or 800-443-9667 

Constantines is primarily a wood and veneer supplier, with specialty items for makers of guitars and violins.  A quick search of their site for screws didn't turn up anything as large as what you need, but you might keep these folks in mind for woodworking supplies.

Subject: pedal lyre screws are obsolete


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,
