70 Player Piano Mandolin Rail/Rinky Tink Clips Pinch Fit, w/Bellows Cloth Strip

Description

These are the metal clips used for making (or repairing) mandolin rails in player pianos and the traditional material for the mandolin rail curtain (medium weight bellows cloth).  Clips are pinch fit.  Strip of bellows cloth is 3" wide, 55"+ long.  Best clip I've found for the task. Very similar to the old OK paper fasteners. Auction is for 70 clips, more than enough for the tenor and treble sections.  I recommend against use on the wound strings (strings with a wire core and another wire wrapped around that core - mostly found in the bass but sometimes found in the low treble) as the clips will damage the windings.... but, if you want to do that look below for the auctions for the 100/pk clips and strip.
The strip is likely longer than necessary - since most mandolin rails do not have clips on notes with wound strings. Simply cut it to the length you need.
