[pianotech] your father's butt

[Gerald Groot]

The pictures looks like left over residue from this stuff.  It would filter
all through the action as you know, What they used, I don't know...  But, I
hated working on it.  Black everywhere.

Ok, now that I have your attention, I have a question. It's a question I ask
every couple of years or so on these lists, and no one's come up with an
answer yet. It's up on the wheel again, and with the number of recovering
Baldwin employees extant, I keep hoping someone has a name to put on this
stuff. 

It's a faux butt and catcher leather found in Baldwin verticals prior to
Corfam. It's the sticky black stuff, that degenerates into stickier black
dust until it wears to the backing, beyond which it generates a weird sort
of web. Maybe it's "Cob"? Does anyone, please, know anything about this evil
stuph? Yea, I know it needs replaced, but I'd really like an ID.

Thanks, maybe 
Ron N
