Thanks for the information, Stephen. Could you describe the properties of the original leather? Less stretchy, for starters? ... what animal? At the all-day Steinway program, Eric Schandall talked about cutting strips for knuckles and backchecks from head to tail, since the animal's breathing flexes the sideways direction. Was this common practice for hammer leather? (thanks) Susan
