I would love to do so -- who, what, where?  ("When" isn't so important,
I suspect it'll be here when it is made!)

It seems some of us are still very "gun-shy" about modern materials;
we've seen too many "miracle" products fail far sooner than traditional
materials.

I've been working on a theatre organ restoration and we've been using
some rather nice thin leather (about .015" thick) on the secondary
pneumatics; yes, more expensive than rubberized cloth, but it sure
glues nicely to the wood with hide glue.  Five more ranks and a piano
remain to do.  (The piano has double the number of pneumatics as there
is a "Soft" level and a "Loud" level, not achieved by changing the
static pressure, and that has taken me some time to work my mind around
-- pressure, not suction!)

Which brings up a question: Does player work suck? <smile>

Sorry, our organ workers use a _lot_ of bad puns.  (Who?  Me?)
