Maxim,

Have any good hardware stores in town?  Buying screws is a pretty basic
activity. . . 

If the next size screw is too long, trim the tip on a grinder to keep it
from bulging the finish on the top side of the lid.

It's usually called a lid lock bar, or a lid stiffening bar.

A church I serve has had the piece that holds the lock to the lid on
their Yamaha C7 pull loose.  (I know, I know--after 50+ years tuning, I
should know the name of the piece.  The book on nomenclature is next on
my list to get).  I have never run up against this before.  But the
screws (2 7/16" 
flat head brass--#12?) do not protrude much into the lid and I'm
wondering how well my standard fix for stripped screw holes (leather
lining the hole) will hold unless I can find a slightly longer screw.
Is any such screw available -- perhaps 1/8" longer?  I fear the point
pricking the finish of the other side if I go too long.
