Repairing Old Piano Rolls
By Keith Reedman

Hello All,  The subject of removing Scotch tape from rolls was
reviewed by John Taber in MMD 101121 where he mentions several
proprietary fluids.  I have always used with complete success
the commonly available fluid used for filling cigarette lighters
(obviously not the liquid gas).  My stock is now old but I assume
that it is still cheap, widely available and highly inflammable.

Best wishes,
Keith Reedman

 [ Cigarette lighter fluid is naphtha, a "cocktail of petroleum
 [ spirits", explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtha
