Re: A good laugh.....

I can believe that clarinet keys could have been made of solid silver, or at least a silver alloy. I used to collect coins as a kid (back in the 1960s), and during WWII some nickles were made of silver and pennies were made of steel. I guess copper and nickle were scarce during those years ... it would seem that solid silver would be quite heavy.

I am surprised that some alloys of aluminum haven't been tried for clarinet keys. They could be anodized for a nice finish ... and should be lighter weight.
