[quote] Hans recently ballparked having a bare horn plated at roughly 500 euros. I can't imagine that having just the bell flare plated would be very expensive. [/quote] -----------------------
I believe Hans meant plating the whole horn as that was the original question. Basically plating was used as an option opposing lacquering or I suppose perhaps just for aesthetics. Plating just the inside of the bell was from a different post altogether and used to be common enough on yellow brass flares to help protect the metal from the hand/body acid-protection from tarnish is a side benefit.
