Hi, Peter,
If memory serves, some years ago, Richard Davenport came up with a
formula that was a virtually invisible colour and texture match to the
original finish.
Perhaps Alan Eder may know more about it.
Kind regards.

Jon,
Yes, doubtlessly what I will end up having to do. Evidently there is much copper color in it so a blend of largely copper and a bit of gold, then tweaked as I build it up. The real thing is simply unavailable on this side of the pond.

Made a blend of powders to match as best you can. Mix into shellac.

Maybe contact Jurgen (formerly Forte Supply). He may have some contacts in Germany (and maybe translate). Or Ruth Zeiner of Allied Products. She's always helpful for doing touchup.

Does anyone know how to get their hands on some authentic Bosie plate bronze paint to touch up a nasty ding (slip of the hammer during stringing) on the plate? Factory cannot ship it, Yamaha only has MSDS, maker only speaks German...I don't know where to turn. Open to suggestions too.
