For the classical I am building I am going to use Irvine Sloane Tuners, I want buttons that are white, but wondered what you thought, is Ivoriod or pearloid nicer ? They come in both.

Thanks Michael,

It has no other pearl on, so I think I will take your advise, I have never user Ivoriod buttons but from the picture they look to have a nice grain effect in them, they are made by Waverley so I am sure they will be nicely done.
