Re: Goldchops Mouthpiece plating

Post by Andy Rummel »

This is interesting timing as I was just looking into this company last evening. Have you received the mouthpiece yet? How does it look? Are you pleased with the results?

If anyone else has used this company feel free to chime in. I know that Anderson is the gold standard (pun intended) but was wondering if there were other options.

Thanks!

I've had a few mouthpieces goldplated by him, including one that had just enough roughness to the surface that I didn't like to play it. It came back beautifully smooth, for no extra charge. The plating quality has been very good - probably not as good as Anderson, but his prices are so good and his service so fast that I don't mind if I have to get a favorite mouthpiece replated every couple of years.

The purdy part is really important. :)
