Shifting Bellows Cloth After Installation
By Dave Clark
I have wrote before about a 28 key street organ that I am building and have a slight problem that someone might be able to help with. The reservoir is covered with heavy bellows cloth and uses 1/16" plywood stiffeners. When I glued the cloth on I did not get the stiffeners close enough to the edge of the bellows to prevent it from popping before the "safety value" opens. Only one side pops. The organ operates on 6.5" water pressure. My question is can I re-heat the hide glue, slide the cloth and let it dry again or is the only solution to remove the cloth entirely and start over? It's not a major problem. I can get around the problem by having the safety valve open before the bellows has a chance to pop. Any suggestions? Dave
