First off - I'm biased - I prefer unlacquered horns (from both a playing and repairing standpoint).
Second: If you consider the thickness of the brass (or nickel) in a typical horn flare - then consider that it is sprayed with lacquer on both the inside and the outside, it is not uncommon to find that there is more lacquer than brass dimensionally! It does inhibit the production of the higher frequencies Third: If you think its going to make a difference - it will...
