Hi everybody,

I've got a new tenor MPC made of brass with no plating (because the
MPC maker doesn't find someone who can really do this job without
ruining it). I'm not allergic to brass and it doesn't give me no bad
after-taste when I play it. And, for me, it plays very well.
I don't know if I have to send it to someone in order to do the
plating (the reasons could be : bad taste/allergic reaction/protection
from oxydation/other?) or it doesn't matter ??? 
Thank you for your help !

I play an old link brass plating.It is my favorite piece.

I just received two Links back from Doc Frazier.  One a modern STM 
which had plating loss from refacing work - the other a vintage 
Tonemaster which was completely without plating.  Both look like new 
and now I can enjoy the big fat sound from my Tonemaster without the 
distracting brass taste.

This was my first experience having mouthpieces replated, and I am 
extremely pleased.
