This answer is long in coming, but Vagias keytops fit perfectly most of the time without any trimming at all! Additionally, Vagias makes about 7 different colorations of keytops, some with beautiful simulated ivory grains. Many refer to this as "art ivory". This is the company that makes the clear, snap-on plastic elbows that you see the suppliers carry. Another thing about this company is that they are the only ones (that I know of) that make synthetic ivory heads, tails, fronts at .40 thickness - same as most real ivory. These "chips" are very realistic. They come in 3 shades, and are grained like real ivory. In case there are some not familiar with this company, here's the info. Also, if you call or write them, they will send you for free a sample kit of their ivories. I like showing this kit to customers so they can see the other choices other than gloss white. Most are amazed that they have a choice. Vagias Ventures 265 Prospect St. Baden, Pa 15005-1819 ph 1-724-869-2842 fax 1-724-869-8341 Devlon Western KY Univ.
