u/Dull-Option-611

I’ve owned this horn for about a year and the pitch is FANTASTIC! Not a single note that the third or fourth slide can’t handle (albeit I would love a longer fourth.)

Except one note. (I’ve come to terms with playing the higher G 1-2 with the first slide down a bit)…That note being the fundamental C is ALWAYS sharp.

No matter how much I relax my lips or lower my jaw, or slow my air it is ALWAYS sharp. My main slide is out quite a bit as it is looking silly.

I’m curious if my situation is unique or if anyone has also experienced this? Literally up to high Bydlo G# down to a pedal Db I can nail at 440hz, but the C fundamental?

Nope.

Thoughts?
