Subject: Plating on keys (David Niethamer et al.)

What's wrong with nickel? Howver, my ancient Buffet B flat has *no plating at
all* and shows just a few spots of green where it has probably got wet
thousands of times. I couldn't get at these without dismantling all the
keywork.
I suspect from what some contributors were saying a month or two ago that the
base metal now used for keywork for the major manufacturers is much less
corrosion-resistant. Possibly it has a higher copper content; there is
certainly a chronic world tin shortage.
