82-83 THE BAND
h. Care of cases and slings.-(1) Band instrument cases,
if made of leather or imitation leather, should be polished
occasionally with saddle soap or light oil dressing, aired out
in the sun, and not allowed to get musty. Metal parts should
be polished and oiled, and fabric reglued when necessary.
(2) Straps or slings, if leather, should be kept pliable by an
application of oil or saddle soap and should be well polished
* 83. REPAIR OF INSTRUMENTS.--a. All band instruments that
become unserviceable, or require extensive repairs to place
them in playing condition, should be forwarded to the commanding
officer, Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot, 21st and
Johnston Streets, Philadelphia, Pa., for repairs. A repair
section is operated at that depot, and repairs are expedited
and instruments returned to organization with minimum delay.
Should any instrument forwarded to that depot for repairs
be found not worth the cost involved, the organization
will be notified; a copy of report of survey should accompany
instruments damaged, except through fair wear and tear.
b. Minor repairs may be made locally, for which purpose
the Quartermaster Corps issues band instrument repair tools.
However, this work should be done only by experienced
workers.
