I have seen some places advertise that they can get old keytop ivory (legal because it comes from antiques), cut it to fit your keys and install it, giving you a new "old" ivory keyboard. Has anyone ever tried this or seen it done? Just how expensive would it really be? I'm seriously considering looking into it, because my oldie Steinway lost its ivories long before I fell in love with it, and I'm thinking it might like a new old set. ;-) Best Regards, Greg ___________________________________________________________________ Greg Anderson greg@PlanetBeagle.com
