Historically, piano keys have been made with ivory. Ivory comes from the tusks of elephants, and is now illegal to purchase. Currently, piano keys are usually made of plastic or cellulose, which is a compound that is similar to plastic. They may not last as long as ivory, but they are cruelty free.
