Hi APO,
Recently, a bunch of music-related groups received inquiries about
interest in repairing/maintaining the Kendall Band, mostly the big
vertical bells that don't really work anymore. MITERS seems to be very
interested in this, as you can see by the forwarded email thread.
They've created the list kendall-band for those interested.

Hi Judy, Chris, and MITERs,
I don't know what sort of interest you've received in repairing the
Kendall Band, but I created the list kendall-band if anyone's
interested in getting involved/coordinating work.
Cheers,
Sondy
