Is it lacquered or silver plated?

If they are very light, some silver polish cream should take care of them. If they are deep, then the horn might have to be replated to make it look pristine. But the point is to make music, not look pretty so I wouldn`t worry about it.

He is right, I have an old Bach that is about 15 years old, all of the brass laquer is worn off, the horn looks about as dull as britney spears sounds, yet It is the best sounding horn I have. Have you ever heard that professional musicians actually buy new horns and strip off the finish for recordings? it is because it lightens the horn and allows it to ring and resonate just that little bit more.
