Original ivories (but we can recover with plastic for no charge). Action is all original, absolutely no vertigris, all the parts are all in good shape. It has been well taken care of. The hammers are in good shape and have been voiced. The pinblock is excellent, strings sound very good, and soundboard has crown. There are two small cracks in the soundboard but they are inconsequential. Pedals and lyre are a-ok. If this piano were to be re-finished, at roughly an additional $4,000, it's value would be comparable to a new or recent M, selling at at appx $50,000. (Note: this piano is offered for sale by a Daynes Music technician.)
