I didn't know they were available in silverplate. Since the standard
invert is approx. $15 at Muncys, how much are the silverplates?

(I probably won't buy one - I love my Bay way too much; it held a notable
improvement over my Bonade inverted. Plus, it doesn't slip off my mpc
when switching clarinets in the pit the way the Bonade did...)
