Dear colleagues, I joined the discussion list
only a couple of days ago – this is my first trial to present a problem
and hopefully find out about ways to solve it. This museum has a large
collection of historical keyboard instruments. All of them contain various
types of wool felt. The pieces of felt have different shapes, many are very
tiny and they are mostly glued to the wooden parts of the instruments. Many of
them seem to be very attractiv to moths. Does anybody know a chemical substance
which can be used to mothproof these wooly bits “in situ” ? The instruments are on
display, some are frequently tuned and played on. Thank you very much for your
suggestions. Angelika
