<dd>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.<br><br>

<dd><font size=2>I have a customer with a 1920's Steinway A, and the lock
bar screws are loose - I need to put in slightly larger screws because
the holes are a bit enlarged. 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?<br>
