by Christine Robinson (050911 MMDigest) Joyce Brite asks about replacement rubber bands for piano rolls and I would like to make a suggestion. Most of my Themodist rolls have thick cotton tied to the 'D' ring. The cotton is about six inches long, rounded, and looks similar to crochet cotton. This is wrapped around the rolled-up roll and secured 'round what looks like a small brass button. It's not so invasive as a rubber band. Quite a neat little invention, still works, and is still in situ eighty or so years later! I've asked Robbie to place my photo of this in the MMD gallery. Christine Robinson
