Seek Green String for Music Roll Ties
By John Phillips

Hi from Tasmania.  Does anybody know of a source for the green string
that Aeolian used to use on those rolls that had a string tie around
them?  It looks like light-weight string fishing line to me.

I've been around the fishing tackle shops in Hobart, but nylon reigns
supreme these days, except for cod line, which is far too heavy.
Conversely, the thread available from needlework shops is too light.

I suspect that this is mostly a question for subscribers in the UK or
Oz because US Aeolian rolls don't seem to use string.  Any suggestions
gratefully received.

John Phillips in Hobart, Tasmania.
