Hi Jay, my name is Maurizio Leoni, I am a saxophonist and Youtuber from Italy, I have bought a Yanagisawa A991 used. It is in nice mechanical condition and plays good. But is in bad aesthetic conditions. I’m thinking about to unlaquer the sax. And I have an expert technician, he said me he will do only chemical unlaquering, pad substitution and pearls cleaning. Thank you for your videos are very interesting. Whatsapp do you think about this idea? Bye. Maurizio

I would leave it as is. A horn that is missing lacquer looks well used. Lots of people buy horns without lacquer since that look is desirable.
Thank You?
