    Hi Timo, this Video is very interesting. It's a good ideal, to make the plating at home ! It's funny, that you plate a nickel valve . I'm playin my Getzen Severinsen Trumpet since 1979. But the nickel plated valves work very well..I think, these nickel valves are definitely the best kind of valves. Your plating method will be much more interesting for users of monel and Steel valves and Ithink, the method is the same..copper and the nickel, correct? Best wishes from germany, peter

Changing pads looks easy but it is fairly difficult to get them seal well without any leaks.

When you are brush plating, do you have to stop at certain design line on the trumpet?

      Thanks! There are calculators in web for counting the needed time, e.g. www.goldn.co.uk/brush-plating-calculator/ but for brush plating it is more difficult to count the time. Brush plating blends in quite nicely, it is more about how well you have made the buffing and cleaning, so how shiny the surface is, so you don't need to cut it to certain point. But edge may be still visible if you look carefully.
