A grand piano placed inside the hall, quiet like a sleeping bear. I cannot help walking forward and using my finger to touch it, can’t believe the feeling of the keys make me unforgettable until now. So how that incredible keys made of? I think many people want to know this question like me, We might talk about the material of the piano keys and how to store it today.

White keys surface lining made of “perspex sheet” which is most of people knows now, there are also a lot of white keys that are made of improved PS. By the way, the texture of digital piano keyboard can compared with acoustic piano keyboard on the market at present.
White keys of expensive top-class piano made of ivory as material. Normal piano don’t have too much production cost like top-class piano. The white keys surface lining of vintage piano usually made of nitrocellulose or something called “chemical sheet”, there are a few pieces of white keys surface lining will use bones and other animal sclerite to produce.


Black keys of expensive advanced piano made of ebony or other black hardwood, it cost very high. The black keys of vintage piano usually made of acer mono, beech, and other hardwood to produce, shape and print the black color.

High-class material is not only has the beauty appearance and texture, it also has a certain advantage by itself. The ivory white keys and ebony black keys with a special ability to absorb sweat, providing an authentic piano touch.
