There 2 good reasons for a goldplated mpc:You don't like the look of good old tarnished silver or you have an allergic reaction to sliver. I can't even play a silver horn without my hands turning black and leaving my fingerprints etched into the horn. I thought that that black ring around my mouth was part of the punishment for having to making whatever sounds were coming out of the horn. My teacher at Crane School of Music, Dr. Perry Yaw,(we're talking almost 50 years ago) put me wise to the gold plating.
