I am not into the finer details of lacquer and especially my English terminology on the topic is limited and not necessarily precise.
Being an instrument collector I am very much aware about the effect of the storage format. The instruments placed very accessibly, that is on stands, are more likely to get play time.
I recently bought a couple of guitar/bass stands from Thomann in Germany, who warned that these might damage instruments with nitro lacquer. My Chinese heavily lacquered campfire guitar sits in the stand holding body as well as gripping around the neck. I haven’t seen any damage on that one. The Ovation bass sits in the one only touching the lower body. Actually only the soundboard has a lacquered surface being touched, and there has been no visual damage so far.
Are there uke makes known to be coated in nitro lacquer, and are there makers known to never using nitro lacquer?
