Avery,Rob and Richerd, It is a 1970 Bldwin the substitute leather is fawn in colour. However, the client is not interested in changing to real leather he's quite happy to put up with the noise. Thanks for the info. Just out of curriosity I would have changed the balance leather, notch leather, notch pads, cushion felts, refaced hammers, re-centred hammers and re-regulated for £450.00 how much would you change in U.S. and Canada?
