 Re: Bendy flexible keys on a Prestini oboe?

Not sure what kind of metal was used by Prestini, though the alloy used seems to be inconsistent over time. I have had two or three fine playing Prestini oboes that seem to have key-work made with an alloy similar in hardness to 1960s-1970s Loree oboes.
Many Larilee oboes tend to have exceeding "bendy" key-work made with a very soft alloy. Impossible to keep such Larilee oboes in adjustment.
