Bleaching danger: was yellow ivories

[David Love]

The veteran ivory installer that I refer to in my post is, in fact, Frank 
Stopa.  Though bleaching the ivories to restore them after they are removed 
from the keys is one thing, bleaching them while attached is something he 
stronly advises against.
