If daddy had ivory keys, the piano was likely OLD...

@SomeMichGuy well the song was in 74 or 5. So his dad's piano was in the 50s I say

@MissNen Real ivory is problematic, legally, if the piano isn't 100 yrs old.

Depending on the make/model, it could be various.

But that is the origin of the phrase "tickle the ivories" and variants.
