    Well, since I am just starting out, I do not have one single ivory =
keytop or head.  Do I just need to wait until my first keytop =
replacement where the clients keytops are ivory, and then salvage them?

      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 ??

        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!
