Crumbling music desk on Y.C.

[Isaac Sadigursky]

For years I was re-ordering those strips from Kawai,in 3 colors,they are
nice replacement and fit all Young Chang dimensions,very easy to apply..I
even tried it on a few music desk slides and,so far,it works..To remove old
strips:I use small application of vinegar and a few minutes later that strip
comes off and in a few areas an old razor blade can scrape-off gunky stuff.
  Good Luck! Isaac

   My client has a 1990's Knabe grand  (made by Young Chang)   On the music 
desk, the material on which the sheet music rests  is degrading and 
crumbling into coarse dust particles. It looks unsightly and the debris is 
falling into the tuning pin area. The material that is in there is not 
suede. If you push your thumbnail into it there is a mark left. As if it 
were some sort of plastic. Any idea on what they used to use?
   I finally reached the folks at Young Chang and although they will send 
some replacement suede, I still need to know how to extract that old
material.
