"Celluloid Key Covering"

[Jurjens Pianos & Violins]

Thanks Jim,
I had wondered about the 'off-white' plastic. But it's not just the
look, it's the feel of those old materials as well. Ivory and old
substitutes have a harder and glassier feel, which i think gives a
more serious & durable effect.

I just thought that 'celluloid' may have been what i was looking for.
I could just order some and see, but i had hoped someone may have
information about cutting it etc.

Is there anyone from England on the list?

are

thingees......
