for the short term, but scratches will tarnish quickly and eventually the silver will tarnish under the lacquer--thin lacquer is not a perfect airtight seal. Look at any old lacquered tuba--the brass is darker than that of a new instrument. The darkening isn't the lacquer--it's the brass slowly oxidizing.

If lacquer-over-silver was the perfect solution, manufacturers would offer it.
