EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a skilled craftsman is intently focused as he meticulously cuts an ethically harvested ivory tusk into thin slices, each one destined to become a piano key. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as the scene transports us back in time to an era when ivory was a prized material for piano manufacturing. The workshop setting is filled with the tools of the trade: a sturdy vice, saws, and various measuring instruments, all arranged in a precise and orderly manner. The air is thick with the scent of sawdust and the quiet hum of industry. The craftsman's deft hands move with purpose, each slice of ivory carefully measured and cut to the exact specifications required for a piano key. The ivory tusks, once harvested from elephants in a sustainable and ethical manner, are transformed into piano keys through a painstaking process that requires both skill and artistry. The ivory is first steamed to make it more pliable, then cut, shaped, and polished to create the smooth, glossy surface that will eventually become the keys of a piano. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the rich history of piano manufacturing, a time when ivory was considered an essential component for creating the finest instruments. Today, while ivory is no longer used in the production of new pianos due to ethical concerns and the availability of alternative materials, this image serves as a reminder of the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating these musical masterpieces. The legacy of this historical industry lives on in the form of vintage pianos, each one a testament to the artistry and skill of the craftsmen who brought them to life.
