Re: Buffet E11 Made In Germany

The article is very wrong there - the Schreiber-built E11 originally had nickel plated keys as did its predecessor the Evette, but since the late '90s they've had silver plated keywork.

Nickel has a very smooth shiny appearance (almost like chrome) and is very slippery whereas silver has more grip to it, has a much brighter look once polished and tarnishes easily but can be polished much easier than nickel plate.
