@monkeydude512 In all fairness, the man playing the Schubert Impromptu is not a professional pianist---he is one of the superb craftsmen at the M&H factory.

@xKurogashi There actually are some very hard, very dense plastics that make a fair approximation of ivory. I'm sure it's not the same plastic as your normal run of the mill tupperware bowl from Wal-mart.

@xKurogashi They are made of wood and then given a coating to make them stain-proof. If you look at Steinway's website, and go to technical specifications for their pianos, they give details on what the keys are made of.

There's no way the higher end pianos have plastic keys; I can't imagine a piano such as a Steinway using anything but ivory keys, or do they not?

@xKurogashi Due to the rapid decline in the populations of the animals that produce it, the importation and sale of ivory in many countries is banned or severely restricted. I don't think ivory has been used for piano keys since the 1950s.
