This works well on ebony sharps, too. - Mark -----Original Message----- From: Michael Gamble [mailto:michael@gambles.fsnet.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 5:56 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Ivory removal Hello Listers Any GOOD ideas for removing ivories from keys without damaging the ivories? In this particular case the keys are to be disposed of (Bechstein Model 10 vertical strung upright, 85 keys, Nr.74325) The attached action is also being disposed of. The piano carcase has already been dumped. This is the result of flooding up to the underside of the keybed. I need the space but need the ivories intact. I could, I know, cut away the wood keys then chip away the remains of wood - but I wondered if one were to be in the position of re-covering the keys what approach one would use to carefully remove the re-useable ivories.
