Seems as if stainless steel reeds were already in use in 1959! 
Anyone still using them? :huh:

Stainless steel reeds are used in the accordina. They do not rust when subjected to the moisture of your breath.

What about in accordions, though? :huh:
The reeds inside my Bugari Armando look as if they could be stainless, but they could simply be coated with something :huh:

Highly unlikely they are stainless as it is weaker than regular steel and therefore cannot produce equally loud sound.
If you look under a valve you can see whether the reed on the inside is blue or silver-shiny. Steel reeds are blue on one side and shinny on the other side from sanding and filing while doing the factory tuning (and a mano reeds are also blue on the side edges of the base as they are made of band-steel instead of plate-steel). Stainless steel is not blue afaik.
