I found out from Yamaha that the CSG is only 3microns at most. It is important to me because I have a highly acidic system and I eat through thin plating. In the case of the CSG I mostly wore it away.


It only took me one year to where deep crevasses through the silver plating of my 10G back in 1976. It was then I found out how thin RE-plating is, which is usually only about 3microns. The reason you DON'T want thicker RE-plating is that tolerances between posts, etc become impossible to re-adust AND the surface of the key itself can become uneven (glop more material at one point than another).


In an electronic correspondence with Gerold Angerer (of Gerold Klarinetten) I was told that his plating of 9 to 10 microns was considered quite thick by the industry standards and allows him to claim a guarantee of 10 years on the finish of his key work.


Chadash sent me a description of what he would do for gold plated key work and described 13 microns of silver topped with 4.8 microns of gold.



Any way you slice it, once you build the key work into a clarinet you cannot make any significant changes to the thickness of the plating. If it's going to have very thick plating (and I am to understand VERY thick to be in the range of 20 microns) then it must be designed and built that way from the beginning.
