Gold or Silver Plated Monster Weights

Posted by Desert Rat on August 15, 2002 at 07:59:03:

I just purchased this Jingao (spelling) tuba off of Ebay and it sounds terrible so I am doing some modifications.

I have just created some Heavy Weight Valve Caps in my garage.

Would Gold plated weights sound better than silver plated?

Does the gold lacquer deaden the sound more than silver?

I only have so much money to spend for the plating and need advice.

Thanks
