[pianotech] nomenclature

[Paul T Williams]

I think Old Ivory is that harvested before the US ban of importing, and 
the New ivory is that exported from anywyhere after the US said "no".

I'm still unclear on old pianos with old ivory.  Why they can't get 
imported is really silly, but I've heard it happening. I think Roger Gable 
had to do a whole keyboard restoration because it had old ivory to go to 
Canada years and years ago.  True, Roger.?  Help out with this, please.  I 
think you know the best import/export rules.

Thanks,
Pau

I've head the term "old Ivory" and "new Ivory"  Can some one explain the 
difference? Taken from Dead elephants, or live animals? or what?

Joe,

I did a search for "Mason's Book" and did not find it. If that is not
the name I need to search for, what is the official title?
