Hello everybody,
Does anybody know a good lacquer workshop in the north of Germany or in The Netherlands?
My F tuba needs to be lacquered (is now raw brass) and I really don't know where to go.
Thanks and greetings

The company Leopold Müller GmbH is the industry reference:

Closer North is probably Büchel in Bonn, they offer Lacquering on their website, but I don't know if they do it themselves:

Also Adams in the Netherlands can offer this same service:

If you can find a place that does baked two-part epoxy, that's the most durable, but if you handle an instrument with adult care, regular nitrocellulose lacquer lasts for decades. Oh yeah: Find a place with a guy who is better at spraying than I am.

Everybody thanks for the reactions.
Jake recommended a certain workshop in Bremen. This workshop in Bremen sends all their instruments to Müller lack.
The tuba was ready today and it looks stunning, it really looks like new.
me verrrry happy.
