Hey Steve, When you plated them, did you then call em "Hot Rod Holtons" A personal note to Steve, One of my new students that Doug Bianchi from Wayne sent to me bought a King from you. Nice playing horn...

To: [email protected] Date: Monday, August 22, 2011, 2:16 PM They do chrome plate those drum and bugle corps horns (oops, forget I mentioned those). I don't know, I think it would be a little garish on a horn. Kind of like chrome plating a grand piano, you'd have to be Liberace for that. I have seen some Holtons that a school district asked to be bright nickel plated. They looked...well ok they looked awful. - Steve Mumford --- On Mon, 8/22/11, [email protected] Carl wrote: I just watched an episode of Modern Marvels about chrome, and I began to wonder if any research as been done on chrome plating a horn. It seems like a good idea. 1) It's extremely durable 2) It's highly resistant to corrosion 3) It's easy to keep clean 4) Chrome plating is less that 1/250th the thickness of a human hair. 5) It's very shiny, but it doesn't HAVE to be 6) There are varying "hardnesses" of chrome I have no clue about the acoustical properties of chrome, though. We have silver and gold plating. And we have lacquer. What about chrome? -Carl _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/lewhorn9%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
