Saxophones copper saxes appologies

[allansto]

The gold plated one that I looked at was definately described as copper thats why I went for the silver plated brass version.
Also I dont know much about mp materials and it may be that copper is a perfectly good mp material.
But my thinking was that if copper was good,? they would make saxes out of it. but they dont.

Sorry but I think i should get my facts right.
Apparently some good saxes are made of a high percentage of copper.
i`ll just remove my right foot from my mouth so I can get the left one in.
Regards
Allansto

Reason is, if you made them out of pure copper, you'd need so much of it to give it strength, it would weight a ton and be thick as a whale omelet. MPs are not such a problem, as they are smaller and block-like, so the malleability of the material is less of a problem.
