Same here.  I am beginning to think flush front ivory is better than
replacing with plastic.  With keyboards missing up to 20 ivories using
chiped fronts and filing/sanding them flush  is becomming more attractive to
me.  This is of course in instruments under $3000 in value, but the value
climbs each year I think.   ---ric
