Where’s the “oil-rubbed bronze” option so that my tuba can match my bathroom fixtures?

Raw brass. Raw brass kills germs.

Am I saying that only because I have two older horns that are mostly raw brass???

Whatever I end up with. All of my trombones are lacquer. My tubas and euphonium are silver.

Right now, there's a silver plated trombone I am interested in, so I might consider that.
