laquer vs. silver....

laquer is thicker and heavier than silver...thus a silver horn is able to resonate more than a laquered horn...laquer "deadens" the resonaton just a little more than silver...

try to imagine a raw brass tuba....

when it is laquered it is like taking paper and covering the horn with it...that is how thick some laquer jobs are...

silver is thinner than laquer....

hope this helps!!!!
