A cover for old organ music

    I have Bach Trios and Mendelssohn Sonatas in music which is 14 x 10. I like to play from them as they spread out right across the music desk, and there is minimal page turning. My problem is that they are old, I bought them when I was a student of Dr. F.T.Durrant at the Royal Academy in London in the 1960s!. The covers are in disrepair. Does anyone else have this problem and know where I can get 14 x 10 covers?

    I too have many old copies that are in disrepair. I make copies of the pieces I am using, which saves wear and tear on the originals. I believe that this is legal since I already bought the originals and it is just for personal use.

    MJO—I’m quite sure you are right. As long as it’s for personal use and the copies are not being shared, you should be fine.

    Francis, one option is to copy the covers themselves onto card stock at a copy center. Then you can tape them over the ones that are in disrepair.

    Pro tip: get the cloth sports tape for $2.50 a roll at walmart in the pharmacy section. It’s the best stuff for repairing a binding without spending wayyyy too much on specialist bookbinding tape. Works a dream.
