Hi -
Would love to know the age of the Hobart M. Cable piano sitting in our living room. It is 44287.

Thanks,
Eric

Thank you for telling me. Wow, thats an old piano. Do you know of anyway I could get replacement ivory for the keys?

Your local piano tuner should be able to help if it is just odd ivory’s that are missing or need repairing, if it is a full set of ivory you need that is quite expensive (probably more that the piano is worth ) you are better going to an ivory specialist
