Hi gang! I have a customer with a George Steck fetal grand piano. It is fairly new (maybe 10 to 20 years old) and is clearly some variety of Asian piano. He had the piano in long term storage and wanted me to set it up for him. All leg and lyre bolts (machine screws) were missing. I tried every thread size and type I could find, both english and metric, and nothing seems to fit. Does anyone know what size/type bolt I need? Or maybe who manufactured this piano (my Pierce Atlas does not provide any info)? The serial number is KP8592 if that might be of any help. Thanks so much!!!

Terry,

Those Asian pianos (except Japanese) almost always used an old thread developed in the 1800's called British Whitworth. That thread pattern used on the legs is 1/2" - 12. You can get them from Samick.

Maybe I'm a bit too cynical, but I didn't even try to contact anyone at Samick. I ordered a set of 1/2"-12 Whitworth bolts from: britishfasteners.com. If you like, I can post what kind of luck I've had with them after I try to install them.

Here's the phone number I got from the Samick website: (615) 206-0077.  I talked to Jane yesterday to order a music desk.  She answered the phone when I called, no menu to go through.  Her email is: jane@smcmusic.com.
