Hello List: Can anyone out there provide guidance for refinishing ebony sharps and ivory naturals? The ivory is in pretty good shape, just a bit of yellowing. The sharps were rough on top and the finish was worn through in spots, so I have stripped & sanded them with 400 grit. I know the ivory should be sanded, bleached, and put out in the sun - but sand with what grits? And how to polish? I can't fathom the thought of simply painting the sharps. What kind of a finish does the factory use? What about staining them black and clearcoating? Terry Farrell Piano Tuning & Service Tampa, Florida mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com
