I can remember my parents taking the ivory keys and soaking them in milk to make their beautiful color come back. I still play it today and my little Baby Bee is learning how to play it now. Thank you for bringing back such sweet memories.Sweet Bee Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621819781979605687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634971010185114820.post-7187595308358943182009-11-05T19:56:05.119-07:002009-11-05T19:56:05.119-07:00What a beauty!

The tags are 6 x 3 inches with a hole punched at the center top. You can curve your top or cut a point, or whatever! This is not an ATC swap which I believe are the size of a deck of playing cards. I hope you have fun - let your merry ring!
