<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Listers</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any GOOD ideas for removing ivories =
from keys
without damaging the ivories? In this particular case the keys are to be =
disposed of (Bechstein Model 10 vertical strung upright, 85 keys, =
Nr.74325) The
attached action is also being disposed of. The piano carcase has already =
been
dumped. This is the result of flooding up to the underside of the =
keybed. I need
the space but need the ivories intact. I could, I know, cut away the =
wood keys
then chip away the remains of wood - but I wondered if one were to be in =
the
position of re-covering the keys what approach one would use to =
carefully remove
the re-useable ivories.</FONT></DIV>
