This reminds me of a long time low priority problem.  I have a 110+ year
old Esty Reed organ which has been passed down through the family.  It is
in pretty good shape externally, but I think it needs new leather.  I
know the bellows leaks.  Even though it has no pipes, can someone
recommend some reference books for reed organ rebuilding, or at least
repair?  I have not been able to find any in our local or campus
libraries.

Thanks,
