How would the owner maintain the finish on such a beautiful instrument?

Brushed raw brass will patina over time |
Thanks. How would you maintain brushed raw brass before it gets the patina, Ewan? Wax?

Renaissance wax might do the trick

You can wipe the horn down after you play it, or use a wax coating.
In general, though, if you don't want the brass to patina, you're better off getting it lacquered or plated.

Yeah, I think I'll get it lacquered. Thanks!
