Piano Keys- I Have Real, Antique Ivory Keys. How Can I Make Them Whiter & Keep Them White?
I’ve heard a lot of contradictions to this. I know that light will cause newer piano keys to yellow, since they are plastic. However, what about real, ivory keys? I have an antique upright grand built in 1904. I read on a couple sites created by piano tuners that light is actually GOOD for them & to make them white again, expose them to light by keeping the key lid up. HOWEVER… my tuner says the opposite, that light will only make them more yellow & I should try & keep my lid closed whenever I’m not using it.
So which is it?
Any suggestions, too?
Also, if you have an antique piano, I’d love to hear from you, too. Tell me about it. I just love them
