Joe,
I have a few sostenuto tabs to replace, I'm guessing that vellum is the hinge material here too (old Knabe). I called a local craft shop, they had vellum but were not sure about it being a leather product.  Called another shop, same story, not familiar with it though they carried it. Where do you purchase it? Does it come in different weights or thickness'?   Thanks   Gary Teters
