| Cool post Tom!
I've been trying to be a bit more careful with my Schilke - I really like this trumpet and want to maintain it as best I can for as long as I can, but I haven't taken the steps to have it gold plated. One day I'll go ahead and do it, but for now, I'll just keep wiping down the silver.
Something new I have started to do lately with this horn is to just take it to the kitchen sink and rinse it off really good under the faucet. I figure this removes any salts or acidic buildup and will help over the long haul to keep the silver plating from corroding.
