Bronzing powder color

[bases-loaded@juno.com]

HI Lance -

About two years ago or so the topic of Steinway bronze powder came up on
this list, and someone stated positively that Steinway gets their powder
from Walter Wurdack, and marks up the price ridiculously.  I ordered some
from Wurdack, and it does indeed seem to be identical in color to the
stuff I got from Steinway (I still had some on hand).  And the price is
extremely good - 1 full lb. for under $20 (as of 1999).  At Steinway, $20
won't even buy you 4 oz.  

If you want to try them:

Walter Wurdack
4977 Flyer Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63139
314-351-6600
