I had a Holton which was done in satin silver at the factory. When the horn was overhauled in Germany, it was redone in bright silver.

My conclusion was that the bright silver was much easier to take care of. Cleaning satin silver was an ordeal. I believe it was because some amount of crud gets caught in the roughed up surface. If I were to overhaul another instrument, I'd get the bright silver finish.

Congratulations on the great valve job you got. When Holton's play well, the potential is amazing.
