 |
|
I have a couple mouthpieces I like that I would like to have re-gold plated. No real issues with Anderson's, who have done other work for me, just curious who else people have used for re-plating? I can say, without mentioning names, that I've had 2 pieces done where the plating didn't last more than a year or so. Don't need a repeat performance. Just looking for other options, Anderson's is the industry standard...
Thanks for the options. |

I have tried Thetaplate with very good results - although that was Rhodium plating and not gold. This is the plater for GR mouthpieces.
His prices were super reasonable.

Theta plate is awesome. Nuff said.

A lot of years ago I had a minor plating job done by Bob Reeves. My job was silver but the website says he offers gold too. If that's convenient it might be worth a call.

I have several mouthpieces that were gold plated by Reeves. However, their gold plating is very light gold. It doesn't look anything like, for example, the gold plating on a Monette mouthpiece. Not even close.
