I own an 8D mfgr. in the early 1960s. Lacquer had become pitted, and just plain ugly.
Local horn repair guy, Dennis Haughton, removed old lacquer and replaced. He admitted if he had a full scale set up, spray booth etc, he could have done a better job. As for me I am 100% satisfied with the work he did and the improved physical appearance of the horn. So, putting the bottom line at the bottom, you can have the old lacquer removed and new applied and it will give you the appearance you want. -----Original Message----- From: horn-bounces+william.s.gross=gmail....@music.memphis.edu [mailto:horn-bounces+william.s.gross=gmail....@music.memphis.edu] On Behalf Of Tim Kecherson Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2009 8:14 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Professional Cleaning? I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out with this problem. I have one more question about this. My personal horn (the first question was about my fiancee's horn) is in very bad shape, and is no longer lacquered at all. If I were to get my horn fixed up and cleaned, would it be shiny again? It is a nickel-silver Conn 8D and I'm fairly certain it has not been properly cleaned or polished for about 15 years. -- Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Wilhjelm" <cwilhj...@pascack.k12.nj.us> To: "The Horn List" <horn@music.memphis.edu> Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 08:28 Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Professional Cleaning?
