Maybe I’m all wet but I have a trumpet that has the above colors. It appears to be quite similar to the Waterman ripple colors. I polished it and this is what I got. In areas that are normally not exposed to sunlight etc., the color is the same. I hesitate to be more aggressive to remove more material to see if it is black underneath. Any thoughts?
