The white keys here were covered with re-cycled old piano key-tops. This material could be used extensively in CBG's, is high quality and has value. My black keys were cut from ebony guitar finger-boards but I could also have recycled the old piano black keys.
There are probably many other items that can be re-deployed in instrument building....
Thanks for your comments. As I am a musical instrument fanatic and have a wide collection of them across all types. Making a replacement set of piano keys might be possible but challenging! Vicious!!!
way out of my leaque..great work....i look at craigslist ads for free stuff to use to build cbgs...found an ad that listed a really nice grand piano...with no keys...the person's Ex left and took the keys to be spiteful....bet you could have done something with that...

I made this long before I had even heard of CBG's! They only take a few days...this took years!
