My wife has a grand piano in Russia that was given to her several years ago. It was made in 1912 and she has all the paperwork for it. The keys are ivory and the piano is fragile. She is considering taking just the keys back here. There is no problem with the Russian government allowing it out of the country, but is there any laws restricting it from being shipped into this country? Thanks.

If you are asking about having the keys or the whole piano shipped to the U.S. and it is already your possession, I have never heard of any laws restricting such a thing. However, if you shipping it as being part of a sale, then there might be some issues to take care of concerning the laws in the U.S.
