---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Greetings! Today I finished repairing an ivory keyboard for a customer. I can't do expert work yet, but am improving. Still working on color matching and getting an invisible joint between the head and tail pieces. After replacing the 5 ivory pieces, the ivories were polished to a high gloss. The process involved removing all the white keys, and then sanding, polishing and buffing. A piece of glass under the sand paper helps for a perfectly smooth surface. First each key was wet sanded with 400 grit wet/dry automotive sandpaper, then wet sanded with 600 grit, then wet sanded with 1000 grit, then polished on a hard polishing wheel (spiral sewn cotton), then buffed on a soft buffing wheel (unsewn cotton flannel). Big thanks to Kevin Way for helping me with the use of his shop and help with the sanding and buffing.
