David I always request bass wood shoes and key buttons They are quieter and are more workable for easing when needed. It isn't possible to ease maple keybuttons. Dale S.

Sizing issues and noise versus longevity are the issues. All the keys I've had made have both maple buttons and shoes but I'm not sure I like it.
