High B, Bb are very flatI've got a serious intonation problem with my high B and Bb (I primarily use front Bb): They're both about 20-30 cents flat. The notes around them are all perfectly in tune. The second octave overtones on my low B and Bb are also perfectly in tune. I've used several different reeds, and I trust my mouthpiece (which I've been playing on almost as long as the horn). The worst part is that I'm in the middle of a cruise ship contract that ports in Galveston on Sundays. I don't know any repairmen in the area, let alone someone that will look at my horn on a Sunday. Right now pretty much the only thing I can do is open my side Bb key to bring the pitch somewhat back to normal, but this is far from ideal. Is the B key leaking? Is it something I can fix myself? Any ideas? |
