Kinya,

I've found a source for buying Marine Band Deluxe reed plates, however I still have to get the screws, probably from Micro-Mark. What is the screw size I need to order?

Thanks,

Reed Plate Screws

Thanx Eddy!

Hi Blues38,
If you are not able to locate the metric machine screws (bolts), then MicroMark has a good alternate:

0-80 x 3/8" (hex or round head)

It would also be a good idea to run a 0-80 TAP through the draw reed plate holes to convert the metric to standard fine threads.

Your Harpsmith,
Kinya
