Hi Folk,

So, I seem to have worn away the nickel on my Sunflower arm rest. Has anyone had these re-chromed? Is it worthwhile or just accept the wear as a sign of used affection?

All best, Rich...

It stays right on the instrument. I do keep the head ‘clean’, but not pristine. I clean dirt and grime off, but staining and wear are proof of use. Dirt is dirt Wear is care
