Frank;
 I was thinking about this while working on the Knuckles class and maybe 
there is an easy answer.................There was a period of time in the 70s 
when buckshin was literally not available in quantity and a 'lot' of 
manufacturers used "buckskin substitutes" of various descriptions. Kimball 
was among those who resorted to this practice and in some of their cheaper 
pianos used it exclusively until their closing shop.  It could be that this 
console, as I recall the original post, that was made in the late 70s, had 
'butt buckskin ' of this material rather than 'real' buckskin.  The two 
materials do have a different feel. Perhaps this is what you were 
feeling...........
Just a thought.
