Key covering made from plastic incl. fronts Key covering cut from acrylic glass
sheets - incl. fronts.

Acrylic glass is very hard, does not
melt when polishing, and is resistant to chemical cleaning agents.
Key covering made from bone - incl. fronts.
Animal bone is neither ivory nor mammoth tusk. Therefore customs permits or certificates are not required when crossing borders with a piano with bone keys.

Repairing worn key sides.
In order to ensure that the key covering is not wider than the key itself, we recommend a repair which involves cutting the key side and gluing a new piece of spruce. The keyboard in this photo is covered with bone.
