This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Matthew . .=20 Most of us, I would think, travel with a baggie of assorted ivories. = Since they are all different colours, thicknesses, lengths and widths, I = carry about a hundred, that I have scavenged from old keys I've = recovered over the years . . . Usually there is something that matches. The plastic 'ivories' that are available, are a poor substitute in my = opinion. I'd be interested in what others charge to replace an ivory ?? -------------------------------------------------------------------------= Jim Kinnear www.kinnearpiano.com Collingwood, ON, Canada The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress -- Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French Philosopher A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,=20 but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort! ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Matthew Todd=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 10:23 AM Subject: Missing Ivories How do you all deal with a customer's piano that has three, four, five = or ten missing ivory keytops (and others being chipped and cracked), and = they don't want to replace them because they just like the fact that = they are ivories? Do you just leave them because they cost a lot more = than the plastic tops? Or what do you explain to the client? Another question...what if a client has just one or two missing = ivories, and everything else is in great shape. Can we just get one or = two ivory keytops to replace it with? Thanks!
