All flutes have a lip plate and riser to blow across. The material they are made with can make a huge difference to the sound of the flute.
Most student flutes have historically only had silver plated lip plate and riser, but now quality student flute will often have .925 silver plates and riser.
Simply, pure silver would be too soft and easily damaged. When 92.5% of pure silver is mixed with 7.5% of other metals (often copper, nickel or zinc) the resulting alloy is called sterling silver. ... In other words, .925 is the same as sterling silver, but not solid and therefore no stamp.
