Re: Clarinet plating

I would contact Taplin-Weir of Canada. They like to say they can replate anything. For a Bb about 5 years ago I was quoted something like $1200 (800 for the overhaul.....you need to remove and replace everything on the keys; and 400 for the plating).

Keep in mind gold is going up to $1400 and ounce and anyone selling anything gold will take advantage of the price increase. Also, make sure you HAVE a repair guy lined up who is on board. All the mechanisms have to be re-calibrated once the keys (and posts) are a slightly different size.
