In Response To: Re: 3/8" half oval brass band (John Van Buren)

: I have had good sucess using steel screws in correctly sized pilot holes then
: replacing them with brass screws. The steel screws cut a nice path for the
: brass screws. If you use brass alone some will snap unless you cut the
: holes first.

Bronze screws, while sometimes difficult to find (Jamestown Distributors) are much stronger and won't react with the brass band. Much better solution.
