<DIV>I have a good customer with an S&S "D". It's an older instrument wi=
th
ivory. The key tops in the center section (10-12 keys) are shot and need
attention. She WILL NOT consider plastic. Trust me, I've tried. My
questions:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Who repairs ivory and will replace only those necessary? She doesn't=
need a complete recovering. I have a good stock of used ivory, but the heads=
on
this piano are longer than what I have so it might be necessary to cut =
some
"legal" ivory to fit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Is anyone recovering in bone these days? I can't seem to find anybod=
y.
There used to be a guy in Virginia (I think) but that was probably 10 years
ago.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just as a reminder: she WILL NOT consider plastic so responses to my qu=
ery
suggesting same aren't necessary.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you.
