David Stanwood has used copper and has brought such a keyboard to conventions.
I believe that he sells it for that purpose.
I had thought of copper from electrical wiring since it is plentiful.
According to Boaz Kirschenbaum, they tried it and found it to be difficult to work with.
I suggested gold since it is malleable,
but that more severely gets to Jon Page's point.

Subject: Alternative to Lead for Key Weighting
I seem to recall someone suggesting alternatives to lead for weighting keys. What metal was being proposed? Does anyone recall this discussion?
