 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.
