On some harmonicas (the Golden Melody Tremolo for exampe) the covers are held on by a machine screw and one of these special nuts. The nut looks like a screw but with a fatter and hollow shaft, which is threaded to act as a nut. When assembled with the screw both ends look the same.
The only name that I have found for that type of nut is 'barrel' nut but that name is also used to refer to an elongated nut that I would call a connection nut. (I have used the larger 'connection' nuts to attach two lengths of threaded rod.)
Here is a link to some larger sizes at McMaster-Carr to show what they look like, but I need them to fit #4 screws (either 4-40 or 4-48). http://www.mcmaster.com/#barrel-nuts/=9ndqlu
Any leads would be greatly appreciated. (And if you know other terminology that would help too.)

Subject: [Harp-L] Volunteer time for SPAH
Based on the conversations on this list in the last day or so, I've decided to offer SPAH my services for 2 hours per month. I presume that this is enough time to accomplish a meaningful task on behalf of SPAH every month.
I considered sending this message privately, but I decided to make it public in order to see whether others would do the same. If every one on this list contributed an hour or two per month, SPAH could increase the number of volunteer hours available to it by the equivalent of dozens of full time employees. It'll take some planning and effort to coordinate the efforts of those volunteers, but that's not a high barrier.
If this offer is of interest, someone from SPAH please contact me offlist to discuss.
regards, Richard Hunter
