Re: silver plating

Contact Anderson Silverplating (Anderson Silver Plating). They're the best in the business and the exclusive choice of almost every domestic horn maker. They also make the Schilke "Beryllium" bells. I had a classic Couesnon flugelhorn plated by them about 20 years ago and they did an absolutely perfect job. If you intend to send them an instrument to plate, it's definitely worth a call in advance to determine price, shipping requirements, and wait times. Good luck.
