<DIV><FONT face="MS Shell Dlg" size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">greetings,<BR><BR> 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. <BR><BR> 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 <A href="http://www.constantines.com/www.constantine">www.constantine</A> results in web page under construction message, so I cannot even be sure if this is the right constantine company. <BR><BR>thanks, <BR>Julia Gottschall<BR>piano rookie,<BR>Reading, PA </FONT></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
