Laquered horn finish is easier to keep clean and seems to stay cleaner longer than a plated finish. Is the satin finish as difficult to maintain as silver plating? I have a poor ear when it comes to suttle sound differences so this to me is purely a cosmetic question. I like the look of the satin and the plated better than the laquer, but I'm also lazy and would prefer not to spend the time to polish the horn.
