Keytop material?

[Scott Jackson]

Calin,
There has been much previous discussion about using bone (from cows) as a keytop covering material. This is an alternative to plastic much closer to ivory. Try searching the archives for the word 'bone'.

| Hello!
| 
| I was wondering what material are you using for replacing keytops?
| I tried some plastic molded ones and they look like... plastic.
| Are there better alternatives? Something that doesn't have the plastic look,
| more like ivory.
| What are the piano factories using nowadays?
