The problem with these mental effects is that they wear off.

Perhaps you are correct, Rick. But you offer no more evidence that the effects always wear off than others have offered that stripping lacquer makes a difference. You offer only your own (innately biased) observations.

I have had my bare-brass trombone for about ten years now, and still get the same effect -- an effect I believe to be 100% mental -- that I've gotten since the day I stripped the lacquer (about a month after I bought it). Perhaps someday the effect will wear off, but it has not done so yet. For others, the effect might never exist at all, or might be a negative rather than a positive.
