Hi Bob,
That's a sweet looking horn!!
I may look into a nickel plated alto for my next Synthophone.<...>

I think Anderson Plating is the place most of the folks on Sax On The Web recommend.

I was told, that the nickel should last longer than me, and at worst it may eventually dull a little like the US nickel coin.

If I ever get a synthophone (and I do have GAS for one) I'd nickel plate an old alto and then have Martin put the guts in that.

I have a 1925 silver plated King alto, and it held up fairly well, but it has the voice of an angel, so I'm going to leave it just as it is.

And Gary, you are right. The Sophisticats logo would like nice engraved on the bell.

I did have the Sophisticats logo put on my modded LTD guitar
