My trumpet playing / repairing friend Will Spencer does plating of mouthpieces and instruments here in the UK. He does a 3 micron 24 carat coating, costing about $30 US.

For a jeweler whose never done this, are any particular instructions
necessary other than "gold plating?"  Thickness, 14 vs 24 or whatever
carats (sp?) - anything like that?

Hi Steve:

If you already have a silver screw rim, get it goldplated.
The cost is generally fairly minimal, especially compared to
purchasing a new gold plated rim. I've done this several
times with my silver screw rims. Look up silver and gold
plating firms in your yellow pages or, failing that,
sometimes music stores (particularly those specializing in brass
instruments) can get it done for you or recommend a source.
