Hi everyone-
I can't remember if i've already posted about this question...
But, ive been reading up about un-lacquering a sax and was wondering if anyone has any tips for doing it at home and on a budget- remember im a poor student
It's an alto- with the lacquer already coming off in places, and i just prefer the vintage look given from an un-lacquered sax.
Ive been reading on some other webpage's and chatting with a trumpeter friend of mine who's trying to strip his trumpet with over cleaner. Sounds risky but i dont know if it may work?
I also read that metal stripper may do it.
Im only thinking about doing the body- ill remove all the key's. (Have experience doing this from servicing and minor repairs so no trouble there)
Got any suggestions?
Many Thanks again
Yanni
