When I had my Miraphone overhauled, I told the technician not to relacquer it. This saved me at least $500 on the cost of the overhaul.
Also, he removed far less metal during the overhaul, because an unlacquered instrument shows fewer flaws (after it has grown a patina) than a lacquered instrument. This probably saved me another few hundred bucks.
