Lacquer Trumpet
How do you take the lacquer off of a trumpet?
I've already tried a hot bath and acetone and other things but I can't get it off. Im looking for any cleaners or different methods of removing it.
A hot bath, even with steel wool, will not work on the newer epoxy laquer finishes. Personally, I wouldn't touch steel wool on any of my horns. Brasso will work on the older type of laquer finishes. If you have a newer epoxy laquer finish, your best bet would be having it professionally removed by a brass instrument technician. If that is not a feasible option, then you might want to try a high strength stripper which is available at most hardware stores.
