On another picture, it shows up only on that connecting rod between the =
butt and catcher -- nothing on top of the hammers themselves.  Another =
mystery solved!  Thanks!

    At first, I thought this black, powdery stuff was mold -- but there =
was no rust on the strings, and it was only on the tops of the hammers.

    As I dared to touch it, a train went rumbling by (100 yards or more =
away), and the light bulb came on: very fine coal dust!  Finally, an =
environment that is *beneficial* to a piano!  :-)

        Cy,
        Baldwin vertical--It's the catchers-Butt coverings =
deteriorating-not coal dust.
        You mentioned tops of the hammers ? Did you mean tops of the =
butts and catchers?
