Hi Leonard: The Paxman mouthpieces are solid nickel - (I use one),, however, we've taken it one step further in the mouthpieces Jim Phelan makes.. we use solid silver for the rims - never needs replating - and silver isn't all that expensive these days!
Leonard wrote: Any of you use a solid nickel silver mouthpiece? I have one and it makes life a little easier, there is no plating to wear. It might have a little more frictional "cling" to it than a plated mouthpiece but not enough to notice. Its one of those things that I would think would have a large market share of mouthpieces but I have never seen another one.
