Bach 43 LR Sterling Silver Plus

...Hi folks,
Just aquired this horn. It's terrific!! Just the right amount of resistance with a fat and rich sound. Stripped the remaining laquer from the bell with hot tap water. Any comments??

PhatmonB6 will become famous soon enough
Hot tap water actually strips the horn

The laquer doesn't stick very [on the Sterling Pluss bell] well in the first place, so it came off easily.

I have experienced similar on a couple of vintage King horns with SS bells; may be the "bonding" process is not well-mated with this particular combination. On these horns (the Kings), the lacquer on the brass-areas seemed to stay intact.

Hey, Dave!

Sounds like a beauty! I'm guessing that the water in Seabrook, NH may have done the trick in half the time. Whaddya think? Of course, that may have given the horn a "half-life", and that would be a sad thing to do to a trumpet!

Anyways, I hope that all is well with you! Drop me a line sometime.

Keep blowin' that horn!

Bruce
