[QUOTE="milandro, post: 185616, member: 331"] we are not talking plated metal, metals in plating is microns tick and hardly significant in terms of extra “ cost” ( and yet for the majority of the brands sold much more expensive than the plating would justify) solid bronze and solid silver saxophones and solid bronze and solid silver necks are more expensive than their equivalent in brass and the price difference is way higher than the cost of the different material used. Perhaps Sequoia are the only kids on the block who charge more for a silver neck but only for the price difference between brass and silver? If that is the case more power to them. Never heard of anyone doing this. This certainly not true of the big brands, all of which charge a premium which way exceeds the sheer price of the metal. [/QUOTE]
