[SEL] Ebony and Ivory engines

[John Culp]

> Are Piano keys  laminated ?

They have a very thin strip of ivory glued onto a wooden key. As for 
the black keys, only the top part was ebony. Neither's been used for a 
long time. Plastics took over. And black stained or painted wood. The 
real ebony's not entirely black, either, and could be stained darker.
