Hello all,
I am considering the possibility of having my VMI 2103 de-lacquered. I really enjoy the horn as it is, but I think the look of a de-lacquered horn is awesome. I don't really know how this affects the sound however. I have heard that the sound seems darker and broader, and I have also heard that it "deadens" the sound. So, I don't know what to believe. Also, how much would de-lacquering cost (approx.)? A horn student here is getting his horn de-lacquered and said it will run about $100. That seems a bit pricey to me. Anyway, any information is greatly appreciated
