If the keys are fitted well, there's no need to swage them. But if they do wear then swaging will be impossible (and another method will have to be employed, and there are plenty of cost effective solutions with this keywork in mind). The majority of the keys are stamped and formed from sheet metal to keep this part of the manufacturing side (which is the most expensive part of manufacturing) down to a minimum.

But as these clarinets are made as economically as they are in reducing soldered joints and key pieces and their manufacturing process to a minimum, maybe they weren't designed with longevity in mind.
