Would a picture work? A lot easier than taking one of the Strads there

Default Matching Stain Color of Stradivaris?

I expect you’ll post a picture of you wheeling a Strad into a paint store, or maybe Lowe’s, for a color match.

I just visited SW and Lowe’s. Non of the stains they have seem even close to the picture. Either too brown or too red. Not enough Orange. They don’t match stains.

Default Matching Stain Color of Stradivaris?

Craig,

Do you have a local wood workers shop nearby? I’d find a photo that looks close when held to your Strads and take it there. They might have a stain that closely matches or they could help you make a custom blend of two different colors.

Good idea but I am going to find this tangerine and test it on the bottom of my butcher blocks. Then go from there. I don’t want to make a ‘meal’ of this. If the Tangerine doesn’t come close, I will just paint the whole block gloss black.

Black might be a better match for the speakers you get when you “upgrade”.
