Hi Mark, Thank's for the info. my supplier only carries the 3 grades, and I only use the orange and white for sound boards. Must admit, dark brown hammers sounds intriguing. Just think we could dope a set of hammers, dark brown in the treble, graduating to white in the bass. A new colour code to indicate how much dope has been used. A Steinway will a black top octave???????? Roger > >HI Roger - >And don't forget brown (garnet) and dark brown (buttonlac). Shellac >seems to be making a bit of a comeback these days.
