Screw Specs Library

Submit Specs

This is a reference library of original factory screw and rod thread specifications for vintage saxophones. Having the correct thread pitch is essential when making replacement screws or sourcing parts for repairs and restorations.

This library is a work in progress. I am collecting and verifying data as I research original specifications.

Help expand the screw specs library! If you have thread specifications from factory documents or original instruments, please submit them using the form below. Your submission will be reviewed and could be added to the online library and the Sax Shop Companion app.

If your confidence is particularly high (or low), or if there is relevant pedigree to the information you are sharing, please enter it in the Notes section. Thank you for sharing and helping to improve the state of the craft!
