Piano expert? What kind of glue do I need to use to glue ivory keys on an old grand piano?

It is an "Ellington," possibly about 60-70 years old, in good condition, still played often. Some of the ivory tops on the keys have come off, and I have replacement ivory tops, but don't know what type of glue to use. Need an expert opinion.

    Believe it or not, Elmer's wood glue works the best.

    I agree with the gorilla glue answer but would like to add: Read the directions!!! It expands as it dries.It works like the canned foam insulation. I learned this the hard way.
