I need to replace about a dozen nasty iodine stained plastic keytops with ivory on an otherwise lovely ivory keyboard and have discovered these keytops are a full 2 in. long vs. the usual 1 7/8 and the keytails are a tad wider than the normal as well. The piano in question is an 1899 Collard & Collard. Would anybody out there have anything handy? Otherwise, I have quite forgotten the name of the fellow in the midwest who has the old ivory and can make keytops. I would greatly appreciate his name and contact information. Thank you! Anne Acker p.s. and no, we're not going to replace all the ivory with plastic. Owner has a house full of antiques. They'd stick out like sore thumbs.
