I should note that I do not entirely believe the Yamaha propaganda that the Hamilton plating makes a difference to the sound. Although, I myself have not had the opportunity of playing a non-Hamilton horn.

My rationale for the choice was to prevent the corrosion that I experience with the high acidity in my sweat to keys that are nickel or silver.

As it turns out, since the Hamilton plating is VERY thin (only 2 or three microns), a years worth of playing starts to rub it off in spots. I have not experienced the corrosion yet, but stemming its progress for a year was heartening.

I will use gold plate the next opportunity I have for a full overhaul if possible.
