One British pound is just over $1.28


Do you mean historically weak?



As for plating it sounds like you have a nickel finish. Gold (or anything more high end) would not go directly over nickel. So the plating on your keys would have to be completely removed (that may explain the really high quote you got).


The OTHER issue is that you have been playing these for many years and you have just gotten use to all the adjustments to pitch and resistance. So any horn(s) that don't need the same accommodations would feel weird.......for awhile.



My recommendation would be to buy new, silver plated Buffets. Try a few but be ready to not be comfortable on any of them for at least six months or so.
