Wow, it took me a very long time to get back to you on this...I hope you're still there! Right, I do not think they are celluloid (no smell) and the piano is definitely pre-1960's...
So that leaves ivory, I guess?

OK, sounds a bit odd, but I'll have a go at figuring that out today. Got my father-in-law staying, though, so it may be a day or two before I stop making cups of tea long enough to scratch my piano keys! Thanks for the suggestion...I'll report back soon!

The piano is about 60 years old, I think. I don't know what the keys are made of. How will I be able to tell? (I guess they wouldn't be plastic, though.)

The keys on my piano seem to have been ruined by two children (guests!) who played after using some kind of finger paint or poster paint. Every key they touched now has grey blotches on it, which I can't seem to get off no matter what I try. Is there anything that will clean stains off keys?
