Plating copper onto silver mouthpiece

I'm a high school senior that likes to tinker with things and have been trying to find out exactly how to plate a silver trumpet mouthpiece with copper. What things do I need? How do I set it up? Is there anything else I should know and worry about? Thank you in advance!

Hi, Matthew. plating things really right is a big undertaking and an industrial science. But we do have a student level Intro to How Electroplating Works that includes a very simple copper plating demo. Good luck.
