I am rebuilding a Mirafone Eb tuba at my shop. ( I'm a NAPBIRT repair tech).
This is a personal horn that I wanted to fix up. I am trying to decide if I would like to laquer, plate, or leave raw. I am aware of the maintenance issues of raw brass. But I have not expirienced playing an unfinished tuba. I would love to hear some opinions of the sound quality, particularly if anyone has played an unfinished Eb. Also, if I leave it raw I may have it bead blasted.
