With all the discussion about key plating, I have a question regarding
Selmer Centered Tone clarinets and the keywork.

When I had the instrument adjusted at the end of 1997, the people who
worked on it expressed surprise that it was a so-called "German Silver"
plate job rather than real silver plating which would have been expected
for Selmer's top-of-the-line instrument.

Mine is a Q-series CT, which suggests it was made in 1957. Was this year
and/or this horn an aberration from how Selmer usually plated their keys?
