Hi Derek! Thanks man!

This is really cool. Does the plating affect the way the mouthpiece plays/ sounds?

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

It is really subtle. When I can tell, silver seems slightly brighter than gold. There is both gold and silver either way I plate it. Because silver doesn't bond directly to the brass, the mouthpiece needs a thin layer of gold first. When I plate with gold, the layers are gold - silver (for strength) - gold. Silver-plated pieces get gold - silver.

where i can buy/order tools for refacing MP

[@MrCparking]

Impressive work! But, I have to ask, do you use the hammer to open the tip or to correct a crooked tip without having to completely reshape the baffle?

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

I use it for both. In both cases, I finish refacing with sandpaper. The closer I get with the hammer, the less I have to sand off so it diminished material loss.

Looks and sounds great! What mic do you use, and are you using Logic?

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

I use both Logic and Garageband. Garageband if I just have to capture some sound quickly and don;t have to do too much with it after. The mic is a T47 from Mic Parts. See the next comment for the link. I love this mic.
