You may do, but it will probably be plating that is may times thinner and will wear through (simply from handling) in no time. Gold and silver are very soft and must be thick to last.

I saw some of these ligatures a while back. One complaint I had with one I saw was that the screws may have been left in while the plating was done. When you backed out these screws either some plating came off or they were not completely plated to begin with. Of course this is merely a cosmetic thing.

Many people say plating materials do not matter. But when I play gold platged and laquered saxophone, the difference is conspicuous. The gold plated one sounds far louder. Platinum would be still louder.
I somewhat feel my gold plated Bonade sounds fuller than my nickel plated Bonade.

I have a silver plated Bonade and it's great-Muncy did a great job on the plating-I think it's worth it!
