I know I have read articles somewhere about different ways to "bleach" or
whiten yellowed ivory keytops, but I can't seem to find them. Does anybody
have any good tips for how to accomplish this? The piano is extremely old
and was in a smoker's home for many, many years. I'd also welcome advice
on what pitfalls to avoid in doing this job. Thanks in advance!

He asked me and some others to translate the German description into English so that they can be found better on Youtube by English speakers. He is no contributor of this list because his English is even worse than mine.
