Source for key coverings

[MICHAEL MORVAN]

James,
    A good place to start would be to look at my website on the "Keyboard 
Restoration Supplies" page. The origin of Elephant Ivory is legal U.S. 
Pre-ban  stock,  the Ancient Wooly Mammoth Tusk is from Russia and Alaska, 
and the origin for the Bone Stock (Oxen Bone) is the Middle East and Europe, 
and finally, the best mineral plastics and Acrylics are European.
