Dr. Victoria GrinbergPartner's next wood working project is turning a grand piano into a shelf for friends of ours...
Hanno Rein@vicgrinberg Wow! Looks like real ivory?
@hannorein nah, it's wood, in a not really good state 😅 I don't think partner would be doing the shelf out of it if it were that high level an instrument.
@vicgrinberg Hm. Are you sure? It really looks like real ivory. It was more or less the default until mid 20th century.
@hannorein I'll check when we are back home 😳
@vicgrinberg I might be wrong, but I'm curious now! Let me know ;-)
@hannorein you were very likely right! The body of the keys is wood, but they are covered in a thin layer of what we think is ivory. Thanks for the hint, we would not have known without you!
@vicgrinberg Cool! Thanks for letting me know ;-)
