My Besson euph has had the laquer taken off. . . some say it makes the sound darker when there is a nice patina. . . I'd watch out, though, if you ever think about selling the horn I think the way it looks affects people more than they might admit. I got a nice playing compensating Besson pretty cheap because no one wanted it because it was ugly. That being said, it plays pretty nice from this tuba players perspective. I just did Bydlo last month on it and I did the four bars of Divertimento for Orchestra on euph a few month ago. . . those old Bessons project like crazy at the very least. . .
