Re: Source for pivot screws?

I agree with Bob, most earlier European clarinets had point screws which were unique to that maker, and sometimes even to each model.

Apart from the UK makers these screws would be some form of metric thread but rarely/never match with the threads defined by the International Standards Organisation (ISO) which was only established anyway in 1947.

One of the USA Woodwind Repair manuals (Ron Saska from memory) has quite an extensive list of the dimension of many instrument screws to facilitate making new ones.
