Quick question, if I am looking at 2 tuba of the same make and model but one is Silver and the other Lacquer is the silver going to weigh noticeably more? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Does a c. 1 - 2 mil thick coating of lacquer weigh MORE or less than a c. 0.4 mil coating of silver?

The definitive answer is that the increase in weight from silver will be more than offset by your noticably lighter wallet!
