Ivory keytops and tails

[Stéphane Collin]

Hi Anne.

Jahn, in Germany, sells nice thick pieces of ivory in 4 different qualities,
large enough to match any situation.  Cites legal ivory, of course.
Catalog "Teilen 1", item n° 18.11.00 for fronts only.  I bought some of AA
quality (that is, with very few marks in it), and they are just great.  You
can even get some one piece tops.  You get them more yellow with tea extract
if needed.

Best regards,

Stéphane Collin.



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?
