Looks good, but what's the point?
Is it just the anti-scratch?
Presumably if you drop it you'll still leave the shank out-of-round?
This wont change the density of the piece...
Maybe I'm confused!?
Folks bought stainless partly because they don't need plating and wont wear out.
Now we need to rush to get them plated...
Can someone set me straight?

TiN PVD is quite intert--someone who has a sensitivity to stainless won't have a problem with a coated mouthpiece. (Some surgical instruments are coated with it.)
It's also very, very hard (drill bits and other cutting tools are coated with it); it will resist scratching more than will steel.
PVD is also a "slicker", smoother coating, more like gold plating on a standard brass mouthpiece.
PVD coatings are extremely thin--much thinner than gold or silver electroplating. Those gold-tone bathroom fixtures and door hardware are really TiN--far more durable than gold plating.

I am patiently awaiting the arrival on my stainless bloke-piece with H-Kote. When it arricves I will give a reivew.

Does the coating cover all of the mouthpiece including cup, throat, and backbore?
How much more expensive will mouthpieces become from the coating?

sorry! You misspelled a few words in your note to me about the H-Kote
(no, not "arricves" or "reivew", but others) and I misunderstood your request! Your mouthpiece has been alternately coated
(again: sorry!) with this space-age material:
OOOH! looks comfy!!!!!

This kind of coating would ensure a good grip!
I am terribly eager to try a bloke-piece with this coating, but I am kind of afraid that my usual, very simple, hand tools wouldn’t allow me to work on the backbores like I do with all mouthpieces.
If one would work on this material, which kind of tools would work? Anything short of diamonds?
