As a matter of practicality, many unlacquered instruments in Europe were originally sold that way...

...and most unlacquered tubas in the U.S. were originally sold lacquered, ended up with their bells/bows badly damaged, were repaired, and had their lacquer stripped during the repairs. It's usually a better than 50% change that originally-lacquered U.S.-sold-new tubas with no lacquer have suffered significantly in bell/bow accidents.
