Dave,
Thank you, not sure what I would do with a million screws ??? Never heard of pennies a pop obviously means something but never heard it before

I do have a string of thread guides, very good with a thread on one side a tapped hole the other, but they are not sold as far as I can find as small as you would need for repairing clarinets, they start at about 4mm upwards I would be looking for much smaller

Thank you Dave, everyone

Windsong,
That's a very kind offer, but as someone who repairs clarinets ( more to keep myself functioning at my time of life )  I come accross these pillars quite often, there is certainly no conformity in thread size,
And a simple thing like that can stop you finishing a clarinet, some are almost self tapping threads !!

Thanks for now.  Kaytee

Thanks Dave, windsong,
Now we are in the swing of finding answers, the pillars that carry the spring and key, I find it hard to get the size of the thread, it looks like about a 4BA thread, but it's more corse than that,  it looks like it should be a whitworth as the Americans are still in that arena
It is a help when replacing a pillar to know the answer, if you might know I would be grateful in finding out

Many thanks to ALL

KAYTEE

Windsong,
That was very educational, thank you for all your comments, I could do with some of that knowledge myself

Hi Windsong

Thanks for your help, I will try to attach some photos of the clarinet in question and hope that some-one may be able to identify it.
It is a wooden Boosey and Hawkes. and hopefully an Emperor

many thanks
Ken

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a B/H emperor !
There are no markings/logo usually on bell and top joint
All I know is it is a B/H this by the pivot screw design
But after that I am lost,  how do I know whether it is an emperor or one of the other many models regent etc. manufactured by Boosey and Hawkes.

If anyone could help I would be very grateful

Many thanks. Kaytee73.   First time of asking a question
