Osmun folks could probably answer better, but I would think the process would cause the lacquer to fall off. Difference in thermal coefficients between the metal and the lacquer would cause differential dimension changes causing the bond between the metal and lacquer to fail. Or so I would think.

I emailed the seller and asked him about it and he said it did make a difference. Whether or not it was improvement was subjective, but he said it definetly didn't make it any worse. He said that he had it done after the horn was fairly well broken in, so the effects were expectedly less dramatic. Exactly like it says on the Resonance Enhancement page, he said the effects were easily felt but sort of hard to describe. Now I wonder, would this process work on a lacquered horn?
