Jim,
I like gold mouthpieces for two reasons: they feel slippery and the look
great!

After 39
In my own case, I find that a gold rim on my dry
embouchure works best.
Silver doesn't seem to move at all for me (besides
I'm alergic to silver), and gold seemed too
slippery when I tried to change to a wet embouchure
in the 1970's. So, it's been gold and dry for more
than twenty years.
After 39 years of playing on and off.I'm finally getting around to
getting a custom mouthpiece made for me. Hooray!!! I've always used a
silver plated rim with a basic underpart. As far as I know I have no
'allergies' to the 'silver'. Is there any point in getting a 'gold plated'
rim for an
I like gold because it feels very slightly different. I think it may be because
it conducts heat a little more readily or something. It also looks very cool and
will make all the other horn players around you envious. Also, you may find that
you will never miss any notes ever again. Just
It's way cool. Plus a gold surface feels warmer smoother against the
player's lipskin than silver. If you're going with the gold, it's
important to get a quality plating job.
The real question is: What about a platinum or platinum-plated mouthpiece
or rim?
