It would be a shame to be forced to destroy perfectly good ivory
keyboards because of the law banning ivory.  Do these lawmakers realize
that any piano with ivory keys was manufactured prior to the ivory ban
going into effect.  I realize that the lawmakers are on a mission, but
please focus it on new ivory that is being imported illegally, not on
existing pianos, all of which were manufactured prior to the ivory ban
going into effect.  A word to lawmakers: please use some common sense!
