Leather Sources
By Ron Yost
Hi all,
Another good source of leathers is:
Columbia Organ Leathers,
915 Lancaster Ave.,
Columbia, PA 17512
Phone: 800-423-7003
Outside U.S.: 717-684-2108
Fax: 717-684-4428
They ship on open account and have been very reliable, in my experience. They carry *only* chrome-tanned leathers, which eliminates the problem of alum corroding metal valve parts.
They have a very nice sample card and stock all sorts of leathers, including Kangaroo. Their 'pouch leather' is made of African and Caribbean Hairsheep (uh, is there a hair_less_sheep?). It's a light beige; almost white; rather than the brown color of most thin pneumatic leather. Also, it is available in .008-.010" thickness, which is getting hard to find elsewhere.
I haven't ordered from them for about a year, so I hope they're still in business!
