Can I replace them with non ivory and have them match reasonably well? The old keys are most likely somewhat yellowed as well. Greetings, you will need to go out there with a box of ivory heads, some white wafer, everything you need to clean, glue, and clamp some heads, and charge your normal hourly rate. I have had some great results from dipping a linen, "glue-soaked", wafer in a slightly diluted PVC-E glue and clamping the ivory on it for an hour. regards, Ed
