check with Merle Sanford, Pasadena TX. 713-473-2688.  She does a lot of
ivory work and probably can tell you where to get legal stuff.

Subject: Ivories on an old Kimball Grand


Hello,
 
As I explained before, for learning experience and hopefully to resell, I am
refurbishing an old WW Kimball Grand, made around the 30's. The key tops
have the original elephant ivory. However, 20 of them have ugly cracks and
some are yellowing. I tried ordering some used ivory tops from Schaff, but
they not have any in stock. I've seen some on sale on eBay, for a log more
than was printed in the Schaff catalogue.
 
Do you recommend looking for replacement ivory or would you recommend
replacing them with acrylic or ivorine tops?
 
Thanks.
 
Sam Choy
