Barrel Organ Pipes Secured With Epoxy
By Christofer Noering 

Hello!  Vincent Morgan writing about barrel organ pipes secured with
epoxy, he revived some _very_ bad memories of a French barrel organ
which I restored in 1986.

A former "restorer" had fixed the leaks with glued-on toilet paper (or
"bathroom tissue" as they call it in the USA).  The pipes themselves
were secured with vinyl resin glue, which I had to carve out very
carefully.  Yes, I also had to turn and drill some new pipe feet!

Best regards
