I'm sure this subject has probably come up numerous times on this list, but I am fairly new and I am clueless here. I have a yellow brass horn (gold brass leadpipe) with no lacquer and frankly I'm tired of cleaning it (and my hands) so often. I've heard that having a horn lacquered can alter it's playing characteristics. Have there been any studies done on this? What can I expect will change? Lastly, how much would this cost to have done and can anyone recommend where to have it done? Thanks, Joe
