Releathering the Blower Reservior

 

Most pipe organs have a reservior installed in the blower room to regulate the "Static" wind pressure to the organ and to reduce the noise from the blower getting into the wind system. Historic Trinity's reservior was still on its original leather. It had been hit by water at some point and was unfortunately covered with some rubber roof sealant on the inside.

This is the Original 1929 materials, they have earned their keep!
