I stripped my '47 Conn 22b. I first tried Acetone and basically got nowhere with that. Then I bought a new can of Brasso, a bag of rags and in less than two hours had the old lacquer off. For some reason I don't have the problem with green or black hands, although I do hold the trumpet with a cloth in my left hand. I polish the horn about once a week with Brasso, which takes about fifteen minutes tops. The horn looks great without the old, badly worn lacquer and sounds great too. Good luck on your venture!
