Hi Joe,
Both of my Alexander 103's are raw brass and I don't bother with polishing

Crazy idea, since as far as this topic goes on getting an instrument
lacquered goes I don't know a ton. But is it possible to get a patch done
where your hand goes to not only keep your hand clean but also protect the
brass from the acidity of your skin? Random idea.

It was my pleasure recently to take part in a military Tattoo in Bermuda to
celebrate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the Island. A great
occasion, and of course it took place outdoors. As the massed bands started

There are several different kinds of lacquer that respond differently to
efforts to remove them. There used to be warnings in the owner's manual in
the old days not to wash the horn with water that was too hot because the
lacquer would peel off. I've heard tales from others that it happened

Thanks for the advice. At the current rate the lacquer will probably be gone
in 3 years since it is slowly flaking off, so maybe I could wait.
I have heard of less harsh chemicals though that remove lacquer, and even
that very hot water and baking soda would do it but I'm not so sure about
and degrease with detergent, inside and out. You should leak check the horn
before the finish polishing.

Well see I hadn't planned on a really big job, just something that would

What options are there to quickly remove the lacquer on my horn? I'm looking
for ideas that don't use really harsh outdoor chemicals.

I have a rose brass horn and some of the lacquer is worn in places. Is there a
way I can buy the stuff to fix it myself, or do I have to take it in to a

I'm specifically interested in the UK but I'd like to read responses to

I'm wondering whether the present crop of intermediate/advanced
