mouthpiece replating

Post by ken k »

Hello fellow tube netters!

i have a set of Giardinelli trombone mouthpieces, with the screw off rims (two rims and 3 bottoms). The rims are gold plated and the bottoms are silver plated. They need to be replated as much of the plating is worn off.

Where could I get this done?

Doug Elliott is worth a try. He is on TubeNet.

The Dillon website still says that Vladimir, who was a custom mouthpiece maker at Giardinelli, is in 4 days a week to do mouthpiece mods. If anyone could work on a Giardinelli mouthpiece, I imagine it would be him.
