I wonder if theyll use original types of material. No steel back then.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony may be the single greatest piece of music ever.
He also had soul.

Unfortunately, the piano has suffered considerable damage over the years
Coffee spills, beer spills, cigarette burns........

Were the keys made with ivory? If so,will they restore with original materials? If so, will they have to kill an elephant or narwhale? If so, will some environmentalist file a lawsuit?

This is cool... There will probably be a bunch of “one off” parts needing to be made.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony may be the single greatest piece of music ever. For me, it is Pachelbel's Canon in D.

Ivory is available as old piano keys. I had to restore an ivory inlay on an antique gun. I looked up a piano restorer who had a box of them.

Pachelbel’s Canon.... I always thought it would be great if Taco Bell co-opted that and did an ad with that song playing and a Taco Shooting Device and called it.
The “Taco Bell Canon”.

What makes you think they didnt have steel? Still has been produced, albeit in low grades, for thousands of years. Early knights often wore iron plates but later full plate harnesses were made of steel.

A visitor to Beethoven’s apartment reported that he kept a chamberpot - by his description not empty - under his piano.
In addition, he reported that there were unfinished meals on plates and trays in several locations around the room.

In order to hear anything like the original tone they’ll have to get as close to original the materials as possible.
