Heintzman Screws

[Terry Beckingham]

I haven't been able to find one large enough. Stores seem to only stock up
to a #3. I purchased a straight blade screwdriver that had a 1/4" shaft, cut
off the blade and ground the shaft down to a 3/16" square tip. It works very
well. Some Willis pianos also had this type of screw.
