Re: Buffet Prestige Bass pivot screws

If same situation applies as with the soprano clarinets then I think you will find that the basic screw sizes are the same.
My belief is that by using a thinner head and fitting some friction material around the screw shank they were trying to make the screw sightly adjustable to ease their set-up problems.
The top screw has to be firmly tightened against it's pillar to hold and therefore requires precise adjustment of the cone and recess to fit properly.
The second design allows the screw to be backed off slightly and still hold.
At least that is my theory from observing many Buffets coming into my workshop.
