Additionally, it is not practical to attempt nickel plating in the US, due to the toxicity of the process and envtionmental regulations. I believe this is why Buffet's nickel finish has also gone downhill. Sourcingthe keywork to China skips that issue, as they really aren't concerned with the effects of the process over there. Labor is cheap and plentiful, and like most earlier socialist countries in the former Soviet Bloc, environmental concerns rarely enter the equation.

Silver plating would be an alternative, but is not practical when making instruments from ebonite/hard rubber, as the outgassing of sulphur ccompounds leads to rapid tarnishing of the silver finishes.
