| I have a horn with about 70% lacquer remaining. I'd like to remove the remainder and go with raw brass. Any DIY'ers out there with a recommended method? Thanks! |

Start with a major search engine.
Enter “site:trumpetherald.com lacquer remove”
Read the large number of threads that cover this topic.
Seriously this has been discussed quite a bit. |

Brand and age matters. Some have nitrocellulose lacquer, which comes of if you shout at it  and some have epoxy lacquer which doesn't like to come off at all. |

Probably once a week, it seems.
