Yes Beardsley,

I have the chance to plate them with Tin (Titannitrid) which looks like gold.
This is a very hard surface you can´t remove without ....

paragon, the Brass job looks nice. It sounds like you are describing a "Tracer Lathe". Just because a machine is old doesn't mean it's no longer precise, as your "New Horns" verify. You must have Simichrome Polish over there, it is made in Der Fasser Land...I'ts nice for brass AFTER the finish is smooth. The White Scotch-Brite is the finest, as far as I know. The next time you're at a festival, inbetween White Radishes and Weizenbier, ask the Tuba player what he uses to keep it nice....

Wonderful craftsmanship...just beautiful, Eckhard. It would be cool to see a 2405/077 with brass phase plug too....or gold-tone anyway.

Ah, Titanium Nitride! That's something I hadn't thought of, but what a great idea! If it works on drill bits, it ought to work great on these.......nice parts by the way.

Eastman products has a product called Nylac that would coat these and keep them from oxadizing. Ppolish less, enjoy more.

Silly question.... If you are going to plate them, why not plate the original aluminum parts?

These parts are not cheap !!!! Price of a pair ( 2 horns and 2 phaseplugs ) is
about 540 USD + shipping and the parts are not polished . You can see pics of not polished parts above. Shipping weight is about 3-4 Kg.
Yes, that´s it. This is 190 USD cheaper than the japanese parts.
Maybe to build them in series they are cheaper. And you can polish them yourself, if you want. To polish them maybe take 2-3 hours.

Parts Express will sell you a pair (2) of brand new 2402s with magnets, diaphragms, the whole deal for about $518 plus shipping...

Are you thinking that brass will somehow sound better? ...or are you after the cool factor?

I've got three pair of 075's.

BTW, I was wondering if it could change the sound in any way?
