Keep it simple then and don't try and be the hero. The time you spend looking around for the screw is way more expensive than the difference in cost between the one you eventually find and the one from Steinway that fits for sure. It's not you paying for the screw anyway, it's the customer, or the mover. And someone will need to pay for your time to look for the alternative. Hopefully that won't be you.

Greetings, I have a client with an 'M' that the movers lost the wood screws/ lag bolts for the pedal lyre. I found an $8 screw in the Steinway catalog, but I'm really hoping not to spend that much on a dang screw... In the catalog it says "screw - leg & lyre button/wedge 2-1/4". I'm guessing that's the part? So it sounds like it's 2-1/4" long. Does anyone have the dimensions (diam., thread count, etc.) and a photo, if possible, so I can hopefully pick up a couple of screws at the hardware store.
