Greetings list, Just a quick clarification. I talked to Kent Webb at Baldwin today, and the replacement leathers in the Baldwin kits are in fact escaine, as one list member pointed out. He maintains that they have had no problems since their introduction in 1984, and are now standard on the vertical line of pianos. No wonder I couldn't find a nap orientation to the stuff. I've corrected my article to include this oversight. Rob K. Doe! (...skin) as H. Simpson would exclaim
