I think you can get the Alpha in silver plated keys ... and that would not be the case if it was made of hard rubber ... the sulfur in the rubber would quickly tarnish the silver plate.
The Alpha made it's appearance on the market about the same time the plastic Bliss clarinet went away ... I suspect the "special" plastic material is about the same for both clarinets ...
I'd love to see an R13 or Festival in hard rubber or plastic. I don't know how Buffet could approach the marketing of such an instrument.
In my 2nd and last conversation, many years ago with Charles Bay, he stated he had some Delrin plastic blanks that he wanted to get Buffet to make into some clarinets ... doubt it happened ... I don't think plastic tools like wood or greenline ...
