Relaquering a horn can sometime change its sound if a lot of buffing is involved, or if too thick a coat is applied or applied unevenly. If you like the way the horn sounds, you may want to leave it as is and forget about whether it shines or not. If you don't like the way the horn sounds or you want to upgrade, save the serious dough you would need for the relaquer, sell your horn on EBay (I am sure you will get a good price for the 321 - ebay buyers seem to love those horns) and use that combined money for a newer horn or as a serious downpayment - many retailers like Brasswind have payment plans.
You sound like a great guy Kevin, keep the faith!
