He says, yes, some = pianos did come that way. We didn't narrow down the who, but if Bill = says they were made then the rest of us can take it to the bank!

I have never seen a piano with the one piece ivories. You have received some good advice already. I have the feeling that you are going to have to replace the two = ivories. Luckily, with any luck, you should still have the source for the ivory available, and should be able to match it, reasonably well. There = might be some from the same batch, so the grain and colour will match. Regards, John M.
