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.
