Detail 01
Lacquer-specific formula
Made for the clear coat over the metal, not the metal itself. It cleans the finish, not the brass under it.

YamahaLacquer Polish
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Polish for lacquer-finished brass and woodwind instruments. Buy it if your horn has a clear-coat finish and you want to keep it clean.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Wiping down a lacquered trumpet or sax after playing
- Removing fingerprints and hand oils from a horn body
- Routine care between full instrument servicing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Silver-plated or raw brass horns — wrong finish, use a plated polish
- Instruments with worn-through or flaking lacquer
- Anyone wanting to restore shine to bare, oxidized metal
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Polish, not a cleaner-degreaser
Meant for light surface residue. Heavy tarnish under lacquer will not come out with this.
Detail 03
Yamaha care line
Formulated alongside Yamaha's own lacquer finishes, so it is a safe match for their horns.
Detail 04
Under $12
Cheap enough to keep in the case and use regularly, which is when polish actually helps.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your finish is lacquer, not silver or nickel plate
- 02No cloth included — you need a separate soft polishing cloth
- 03Do not use on the mouthpiece or inside the tubing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a silver-plated instrument?
No. This is formulated for lacquer finishes. Silver plate needs a polish made for plated surfaces.
02Will this remove scratches from my horn?
No. It cleans and shines the lacquer surface. Scratches through the finish need refinishing work.
03How often should I use it?
Occasional use is enough. Wipe the horn with a dry cloth after each session and polish only when the finish looks dull or handled.
04Does it work on woodwinds?
Yes, on lacquered metal parts like a saxophone body. Avoid pads, corks, and any wooden surfaces.
