Shackleford Pianos Cheshire are specialists in ivory piano key top restoration. We preserve and restore this precious material to it's former glory and only replace missing or damaged key tops useing recycled ivory or mammoth ivory following CITES guidelines.

Ivory is beautiful to look at and beautiful to touch. It is easy to work with yet is very hard wearing.  Man has always thought of it as valuable and  it is for these reasons that ivory has been the material  chosen to produce the key tops for prestigeous piano  makers for the last 200 years.

Humans have been using ivory  since prehistoric times. The quality and artistry found in many ivory artifacts show that it has always been a material of significant iconic value.  All civilisations that  had access to ivory used the medium to create items  that were and still are valued as much as pieces made from using any other precious materials.
