Hmm. Once those frets wear, they can’t be replaced, and aluminum is softer than nickel or steel. Aluminum oxide is one of the hardest substances known though so maybe the surface coating will protect it enough from the strings.

I’m confused. Looks like conventional fret wire, why can’t it be replaced? What am I missing?

Ahh you’re right, nm. I thought they were simply molded from the neck.

Coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium is 2.5×10−5C−1
Genuine question for the clever ones. Is this enough to affect anything i.e intonation?
Unencumbered by the thought process the trend in orchestras is the more wood an instrument is made of the less stable the tuning is, so I’d guess it’s fine, maybe better if you’re playing outdoors.
