Hi,
I have repaired similar type things, with old drumhead material.
That is of course, as long as someone doesn't care about maintaining the =
historical or antique value.

  Hi Carl,
                If I recall correctly, they are parchment. Years ago I =
repaired some with supple thin leather.  Never had a recall.  If you can =
get the original material, that would be the way to fly.

    The only place I might have trouble is the dampers.  It has =
parchment hinges for the damper lever hinges and leather for the hinge =
at the joint where the damper wire joins the damper lever. =20

    My question is:  Should I use parchment or is there something as =
good, better or worse?  Would a blob of pvce glue work okay and last for =
the joint?  I'm guessing that using the original materials would be =
advisable.  But suggestions would be welcomed.  I'll consider them and =
reject them as required.=20

    Thanks.
