I wondered about abalone key touches for my Grassi tenor, but I also have some wood knocking about from a couple of rifle projects. There's some 30 year old English walnut I used to make a stock for my Steyr, nice grain...
I could turn up a small amount into a spindle, then size the diameter and cut slices to be polished and finished for each size of key touch.
I'd have thought polished walnut would be quite tactile, similar to the grippiness of MOP. What does anyone else think? Has it been tried? Would it look naff!?
Not desperate to do this, just my mind wandering off again....
