I thinned out some of the typical B & H fat keys on my Emperor, and when I'd filed throught the plating the underlying metal is a very pale straw colour. I assume its a brass alloy, as without the protective plating the areas that I've worked on now have the patina of oxidised brass. When I get around to it I'll have them replated. I did the same on a British Band Instruments "Cambridge", which is an Edgware stencil made by B & H, and the keywork on that is solid nickel-silver and much more robust.
