I have been tuning and working on pianos since 1971 and this is the first time I have been asked this question. The customer has these cracks in the ivory of the keys of this 1948 Steinway and ask if there is a way to "fix" the cracks without replacing the keytops? Anyone of you have any experience? I know there are kits to repair chips in ivory but make cracks disappear?
