It's neither. No way. I've seen Corfam, both pre formula 
change, and post. That ain't it. Nor is it buckskin. The black 
surface is smooth and sticky, and eventually wears down to 
what looks like a white cotton weave backing. The black stuff 
makes the sticky black dust all over the inside of the piano, 
and the backing makes the cobweb-like lint after the black 
stuff is worn through. I absolutely guarantee it isn't 
remotely possible that this stuff is graphite impregnated 
Corfam or buckskin.
