MMD Archives May 1996 1996.05.06 06 Prev  Next Ivory keyboard Replacement By Philip Jamison True, you can't get elephant ivory, but there are several folks who will recover keyboards with bone. I believe they use cow horns or similar non-endangered parts. I think the early keyboard instrument builders use these on their reproduction instruments. Some early instruments used bone instead of ivory. It's supposedly looks quite nice. Cost, I've heard, is around $1,000. If anyone has an interest, I could probably get an address for you.
