    A neighbor is restoring a pump organ as a hobby and wants to know where he can buy new cloth to cover the bellows-any ideas? 


    Thanks!
    Diane

    Diane, 

    I wrote to you yesterday. I hope you do get the bellows cloth. Can you let me know how things turned out and if you get the cloth and your client is able to fix the pump organ. I am thinking about trying to get the pump organ in the Robert Fulton Birthplace fully working. It barely makes a sound. I sent you a photo of that pump organ in the house/ museum living room and you can see a self portrait  of Robert Fulton there. 

    Bob Highfield - humble associate. I only taught one opening class at a PTG National Convention years ago. It was great fun and I learned as much from the folks who attended my session as they did from me. Great fun this tuning/hobby. The church I tuned in today was a classic beauty and I have tuned their sanctuary piano since 1984.
