Author Topic: Rust on Older Brass Tuning Keys (Read 404 times)

The tuning pegs on my 94 MK STD had the same rust sprincles as Paul showed with his foto. I used brass polish to get rid of them and made the gold plating fade away remarcably. Altough I like this more than the rust sprincles. But I am posting because I like it when the brass hardware gets a somewhat shady tint in a way that it does have a look of beeing old but valuable and was taken god care of. You now what I mean when you look at the brass hardware old sail ships that had been polished a million times. Are there replacement Tuning Pegs vailable for a 94 MK STD which are made of solid brass ?

Since nobody replied to my question I assume that there are no solid brass tuning pegs available for an Alembic (I hope I didn't ask a stupid question). Is there any reason for this ?
