The screws on the keygaurd on my "The Martin" saxes come loose. Anyone know what to do and how I can get new screws?

Not sure about where to find them...but, I'd imagine a little drop of clear nail polish might do the trick.

Nail polish should work or hang a little bit of dental floss in the cavity and put the screw in. Cut off the excess hanging out and to get it all off, use a match to burn the little bit hanging on. You will be able to unscrew easily when needed. A hardware store may have some screws in the little drawers marked "brass" but they will not be lacquered.

Kraus Music makes them but you'll have to get a tech or repair shop to order them for you. Part 356B I think.....
