Perhaps I should elaborate. I had the "sharpy" looking lines of plating erode from the plating of my Selmer 10G within about nine months. Upon looking quite closely (or running your finger across the marks) it became obvious that the plating wore away more like a canal than an analog of a finger impression. I don't entirely understand why other than finally unearthing the problem with acidity in my system. I have since run into a few flute players and an oboe player that had exactly the same sort of plating erosion.
