Schmid horns seem to have a very good G on the Bb side. I'm not sure how this was done - but it was probably done through compromise between length of the tubing for each valve so that more common notes would be more in tune and less common notes would be compromised. That's just a guess though and I could be way off. Maybe one day I'll get my horns out of the closet and measure the slides and see if my hunch is correct. But not today. I prefer to keep my sanity today. -William In a message dated 5/4/2011 8:59:29 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
One thing which perhaps was not said explicitly is that G on Bb is not at all "always destined to sound honkey", if you correct the pitch in a proper, gentle way.
