Ivory keys on my my piano.

blah, blah, blah...
It's time to make a decision about my piano. It needs a few thousand dollars at a minimum in repairs to get and keep at 440.
It's been around my whole life but I don't have great sentimental attachment. A complete rebuild might be way more than I want to spend.

It is almost a hundred years old. It has a real "honky tonk" patina, It has a cool shape for a baby grand.

It has Ivory keys which changes my calculations. I think. Is there any real value in ivory as a player? Does it give a decent resale value?
I know there are laws against trading ivory. If I trashed the piano I would remove the keys for other repairs but I don't think I can sell them. The repair guy I called was not clear and I don't fully trust his motives.

Otherwise I need to move it again and I don't want to pay to repair or move if it has no value.

My other plan is to burn it in a huge backyard funeral pyre. Might make for a great party.

Any ivory trade experts in here?
 
we all know that people are the same wherever you go. there is good and bad in everyone. we learn to live when we learn to give each other what we need to survive, together, alive.

ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony side by side on my piano keyboard. oh lord, why can't we?

Don't notes NOT next to each other sound more pleasing together? (on the piano)
