A recent discussion threw up some confusion about German black resin
pitch. The 1 sold by Otto Frei is classified as very hard, whereas
the 1 sold by Fischer in Germany is listed as very soft. We know
pitches come in varying degrees of hardness - but we also thought
Otto Frei got their ‘german pitches’ from Fischer - but obviously
not? Anyone tried either of these? Thanks Orchidians 
Quick follow-up: just heard from Fischer, & apparently it is the
same pitch as sold at OF.
