Subj: Re: Making Clarinet Rod Screws
Bill, to identify the thread for which you need a die, you need to measure both the outside diameter of the thread, AND the pitch, the latter normally measured with a 'pitch gauge'. The pitch is measur

I don't know of any satisfactory substitute for swedging keys, at least I've not found it. As David points out, sticky-back sheet Teflon seems better suited to sliding [sax] linkages than clarinet mechanisms. It might be ok
