Coverplate Screw Material Dangerous?
Hello Kinya,
I just bought some new screws for my harmonica coverplates to replace some old ones that had corroded. I am wondering if the material could be harmful in any way though. Here is a link to the amazon page where I got the screws (I bought 2-56, 1/2'').
Would these screws be in any way toxic or harmful to me?
Thanks in advance,

Good choice Harpsquealer. No problemo

can you buy screws at the hardware stores? What size? Looking for screws for marine band?
Authentic fasteners (metric screws) are available at:
You can substitute metric with standard machine screws, such as: 0-90, 0-80, 2-56, 1-72. This will require the correct pilot and clearance drill bits, and tap (to cut new threads into your reed plates). Check out:
