For
some time now there have been brand new professional brass instruments produced
by the manufacturer and offered in “raw brass” finishes. These instruments are sold in their shiny new appearance and
then, over time, oxidize to become the dull finish horns we occasionally see.
There are some considerations that should be made before selecting the
“raw brass” finish.
When restoring brass instruments, the lacquer, silver-plating or gold plating is applied not only for their beautiful
appearances but these coatings act as protections against wear. If the
instrument is left in "raw brass" one needs to keep in mind that the
elements as well as the acid from the player's own hands will attack the
instrument and greatly decrease the life expectancy of your brass instrument.
Also,
the residue from this oxidation process can be absorbed into the players system
and may not be very healthy at all. Some players have discovered that
they are actually allergic to this brass oxidation residue.
The Musical Instrument Repair Shop does, on the
occasion of a customer’s request, leave a brasswind restoration in the “raw
brass” finish, but only after
having advised of the negative effects.
The Bach
Stradivarius Company used to state on their web site that Bach instruments are
not available in raw brass due to the possibility of hazardous brass poisoning.
