This is my Bach, done by Tom Green in Indiana. It was originally "regular lacquer."

Ah, that makes sense. I don't think any of us realized you had a silver-plated horn; stripping one and lacquering it is certainly possible, but not really worthwhile.
You can lacquer over silver (if you hate polishing) but there's no real point to that either.
