Ted, <<I think if I could show him a sample of a non-ivory keytop that looks and feels like ivory he would be happy with that. Any thoughts out there?>> You could order a box of Vagias keytops from Schaff, P. 85, Nos. 1320-1331. Keytop color/texture/look is totally up to the customer, and he may not like them, but I like the way those looked (for certain pianos). They are $12-13, so you won't be out much if the fellow does not like them. I ordered some last year just to see how they looked, but have not covered any keys with them yet. Gotta dig them out, I guess. :-) I can't say about how they feel compared to ivory. John M. Formsma Blue Mountain, MS PTG Associate, Memphis Chapter mailto:jformsma@dixie-net.com
