Anderson Plating for repairs

Author: SecondTry

Hi:

I recently inherited an older professional Selmer Soprano horn that plays well but that I am thinking of getting overhauled, including its keys re-plated.

I know Anderson Replating in Elkhart is one of the go to places for the re-plating but, as they seem to advertise instrument repair on their website, I wonder if anyone has used and liked them for a complete instrument overhaul as well.

Literally across the street from a Conn-Selmer property, I'd have to think that Anderson has access to those who know about the horn.

Does anyone have a tech they'd recommend in the Elkhart area, or one in the Continental US who regularly turfs electroplating out [to Anderson?]

It's my understanding that rarely do repair techs do their own electroplating given the cost of meeting EPA regulations to open a facility that couldn't be cost justified for the occasional re-plating job.

Thanks.
