Rebuilding Aeolian Grand Player Organ Pneumatics
By Philip Jamison

I restored an Aeolian Style 1500 which has the tiny pneumatics.  These
are very similar to those in the Celestina organette.  They were covered
in thin pneumatic cloth rather than leather or zephyr skin.  I recovered
them in thin pouch leather and they worked well.
