Re: Re-plating Keys?

I had one of my R13's re-plated with gold and it not only looks like a million $$, but has not shown any wear going on 17 yrs. Cost was less than $200.00, but that was "back then". The rest of my clarinets are all done in silver and that has been durable as well. Both silver and gold can be polished to bring back the luster. When nickel wears, like lacquer on a trumpet, there is nothing you can do except having it re-done. Of the three finishes, for cost and durability, I would recommend silver.
