Nasty, Musty Piano Rolls
By Colin Hinz

Hi all,  Earlier this summer, I purchased a small lot of piano rolls,
which upon olfactory inspection, have proved to be somewhat musty.
There's no obvious mold damage to the paper, but I'm keeping these
rolls "quarantined" from all the others so that the other rolls don't
get infected.

Is there a reasonably simple means of treating the rolls to kill off
any micro-organisms?  A slight residual "weird smell" is acceptable
provided the source has been killed off.  Or am I better off to write
these rolls off, and move them from the house to the trash bin?

Thanks to all,

Colin Hinz
