Ask the players in your orchestra why _they_ sport the gold. Compare them to the answers you get from this list. It's possible a lot of the players in your orchestra have them because the player: think it looks cool, thinks it makes them look pro, the teacher has one, etc. However, you might get one player that has actually thought about it an made a decision about what is right for them. I had a gold plated mp because I play with a wetish embouchure and I liked the slickness and the warmth of the gold. My current mp doesn't come in gold and I've been to lazy to send it out to be plated. I've survived.

Dear all,
Other than the appearance, do you think that gold-plated mouthpieces works differently compared with silver-plated mouthpiece for the same brand and model of mouthpiece? Quite a lot of brass players in my youth orchestra use gold plated MPCs. Which do you prefer, gold or silver plated?
