Hey there all helping,
I got a very pleasant email from Eduardo. He makes his own screws for the
Music Master Wood Horns and I think it might be just safe to go with him plus I
would rather give my business to a friend and fellow collector.
I must say, Thanks so very much for ALL THE HELP guys!!!Kenneth Keeton

There should be a head size chart on the BoltDepot or McMaster-Carr site
and the OEM screws I have her in an original horn measure 0.153"-0.155".
Any chart you find if it does not list the odd numbers you can still
figure out which one it is. I just measured a new production brass round
head slotted screw and the head on a #2 size is 0.155" which when
polished and plated will be about as close as you can get. Just the
usual exception to odd number screws ...
