[Harp-L] Gold plated Reeds?

[Robert Coble <robertpcoble@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would gold plating of the reeds provide a certain amount of structural support for longevity of the reeds by "filling in" the micro cracks left by the milling/tuning process?

(Yes, I'm quite aware that they would be prohibitively expensive reeds. Maybe that's part of the reason why the Hohner Silver Concerto has a Minimum Advertized Price of $9,995.00. ;-) )
