Thank you :-) I see there's a firm selling various interesting-looking skins on eBay <http://stores.ebay.com/Wholesale-Leathers> and the prices look interesting too. Whether they do or would cure the skins in a way suitable for piano work, I don't know, and the problem with whole skins is the skiving etc. and the wastage, which is why I tend to buy strips ready skived from the piano supply companies although I have 2 or 3 skins of beautiful stuff I bought over 10 years ago. All the same I'm quite tempted to buy a skin or two from this firm if it sounds as if they can produce suitable stuff. JD
