Florian,
I am having my plumata made from Red Brass. Once you work harden it, it is not so soft.
Also the color of C230 Red brass is like gold, not the door knob yellow brass C260 is.
Matt Lukes is also making my manica out of C230 and it is turning out quite well.
So yea, if you have a source use it. It is flexible enough and has excellnet qualities for cold working. Once you harden it some, it will be excellent in appearence and function.
Also it is accurate since the elemental composition has been found concretely.
