[pianotech] new ivory

[Greg Newell]

Yeah,. Wurther’s or something like that. The patriarch was a carver and
quite good. He had a stock of pre ban ivory and the family was making it
available after the patriarch died.

David,

Not saying it isn't so, but I have been in Central Oklahoma doing pianos for
30 + years
and don't ever recall seeing an advertisement for ivory key blanks
in this neck of the woods, or hear of such at any of the chapter meetings.

I also did a preliminary Google search with no results.
