What about some of the accordians that have what appears to be Mother of
Pearl on the keys?  Or was this some sort of look-a-like material?
However, if it is genuine, would not this negate some of the bad news
concept?

I've always thought of Mother of Pearl as rare and somewhat expensive
material and would not customarily be used in volume situations such as
piano key coverings.

Just some more Thanksgiving Day speculation on the subject.
