Tickling the ivories

Tickling the ivories
Taken for the Sunday Challenge: Grey

Idiom: Tickling the ivories is a colloquial expression for playing the piano. This phrase references a light touch (tickling) to a piano's keys, which were traditionally made of ivory veneer. Nowadays, piano keys are made of plastic and most people believe that ivory looks out of place except on an elephant.
