Zeno,
 
Ah, no, Kawai has never used anything like this.  However, the standard
material liberally coated with graphite looks similar, so perhaps that
is what you have seen.

I've seen it on a Kawai upright, it's not just Baldwin.

	Ok, now that I have your attention, I have a question. It's a
question I ask every couple of years or so on these lists, and no one's
come up with an answer yet. It's up on the wheel again, and with the
number of recovering Baldwin employees extant, I keep hoping someone has
a name to put on this stuff. It's a faux butt and catcher leather found
in Baldwin verticals prior to Corfam. It's the sticky black stuff, that
degenerates into stickier black dust until it wears to the backing,
beyond which it generates a weird sort of web. Maybe it's "Cob"? Does
anyone, please, know anything about this evil stuph? Yea, I know it
needs replaced, but I'd really like an ID.
	
	Thanks, maybe
