Is the intent to preserve the instrument so as to maintain its worth, or is the intent to make it securely tunable and playable, no matter what has to be done? (i.e., would you accept puttying/gluing and re-threading the hole? that could be done on the cheap)
Why would somebody craft a screw that's more like a machine screw, than a wood screw, to securely hold something to wood? Seems like it's a design failure if it came out.
Was this an older instrument or was it bought new?
