I'd like to ask anyone here if you have used a machine polisher you'd get at the hardware store to polish up your horn.
If so, was it easy to do? Any issues, suggestions?
I'm asking since I'm considering of buying one as an easier way to polish up my horns.

Re: Polishers
How about a dremel tool and a lot of patience? Haven’t tried myself, but considering it for my raw brass horn.

Re: Polishers
No finish. Raw brass horn. Your advice still apply? Mine has some etched in water spots from who knows how many decades.
