I have a euphonium that was lacquered when I bought it, and which I later
had silver plated. I couldn't tell any difference between the way the horn
played before and after silverplating. Granted, it was several months between
playing it lacquered and playing it silver-plated, so there may have been
some difference, but it couldn't have been very significant, or I think I
would have noticed. When deciding on a finish, I'd worry most about maintenance
issues, appearance, and resale value. Likewise, I think the metal that
the horn's made out of isn't a big factor either.
