 Re: Falling-out screw

Gordon, my mistake, I meant the L hand "C" key. What falls out is quite a short screw from the upper end of the "C" key assembly, with a sharply pointed end. If I screw it in (gently) as far as it will go it prevents movement of the key. If I loosen it slightly to allow key movement, the screw over a matter of a few days works its way out. My nearest technician is 400 Km away and unless really necessary, I try not to send the instrument away; when I go to the city, I take it with me for a "check-up". I do not see this as a complex mechanical problem since I can reassemble the mechanism easily enough, I was looking for advice on how to stop it from happening again, without causing other problems. I have heard of using nail polish but have no idea what locking fluid is, or how safe it is to apply.
