Greetings List, With all this discussion of stone-related piano construction techniques, I hope some of the enlightened members of the list can help me with some identification of another type of geological piano part, namely the substance used by the Baldwin Co. in their wonderful petrified butt leathers. I've put together a tech. column on removal & replacement for my newsletter, and I would like to find out just what the @#$% those things were made of so I can sound knowledgeable on the subject. All of the Baldwin Tech Service folk are returning from NAMM and are unavailable until next week, so I throw the question open to everyone. Humourous responses encouraged, any responses welcome, Regards, Rob Kiddell R.P.T., P.T.G. C.A.P.T. Student Edmonton, Canada http://www.planet.eon.net/~atonal/atonal.html
