wood from a hammer shank. Works fine with a bit of glue.<BR><BR>JF<BR><BR><A

<DIV>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?</DIV>
