Pre-WWI pianos from Vienna (the one I met was a Steinway) still have ivory on the keys instead of some white coating they have on the keys now. Those ivory keys are unlike any other piano I've touched. Amazingly contradictory feelings of how sturdy the keys feel without the cold-edges. Very soft, but hard at the same time. Amazing.
