Hey, it’s on the other side of the Cascade mountains. You know, where they don’t speak coffee.

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.
