Check out Sax on the web, they have an old add for a 20's. Not laquered, but they did have a bare brass one that would have probably been laquered by someone in the last 80 years

I would say that most likely the finish was bare brass that was later lacquered. I've sen some earlier Conn horns that were lacquered that "shouldn't have been" according to the time they were made, but the lacquer DID look to be original. I believe King was one of the first manufacturers to offer a lacquered finish even as early as the late 1920's or very early 1930's. I've seen Conns as early as 1932 that were lacquered. I suppose it is likely that the horn was an experimental lacquered finish if it's one of the later true tones; I mean VERY late. Pretty unlikely though.

I understand the same thing as Jim. Truetones had three factory finishes in order of being most common: Bare brass, Silver plate, gold plate or burnish. It is theoretically possible that there indeed were some factory laquered truetones. Custom requests and undocumented experiments were not uncommon for the time from what I understand. Yet, also from what I understand about laquers of the time was that they didn't last all that long. The chance of a rare factory laquer lasting 80 years is on the verge of impossibility.

pls i may be wrong in this web ,but i just need is tones/rhythms that i can use to compose musics that i have written down for long .I will be very gratefull if u can help me with this tones .thanks

Not sure I understand your question my freind...

i would suggest that you ask around and find a keyboard player who can help you record some background music to play along with. You may yourself want to consider buying a mid-grade Yamaha keyboard like the DGX-300. This is a 76 key keyboard with some really nice sounds, rhythems and pre-recorded styles. They sell for less than $500, and sometimes Musician's Friend puts them on sale for around $400.
