<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 513031, member: 360&quot;]You would have a MUCH higher chance of selling the piano to a dealer or restorer WITH THE IVORY INTACT. It is literally impossible to replace the ivory. Once it&#039;s gone, it&#039;s GONE FOR GOOD. And the value of the piano will GO WITH IT. If you scrap the ivory you may as well burn the piano. Nobody else will want it. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a HORRIFIC story last year of a man who shipped a PRICELESS antique piano - a family heirloom, no less, halfway around the world. </p><p><br /></p><p>Before it could be let into the country of destination, its customs officials TORE OFF all the ivory keys WITHOUT the owner&#039;s KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. He was FURIOUS because that piano was now destroyed beyond repair and he took them to court over it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
