This happened to me once awhile back. Double check to see if the F/Bb valve is not backwards.

I just had my horn cleaned and a few minor dents removed on Friday. When I took the horn out today to practice (first time since bringing it home), I found I can't play it. The sound is oddly stuffy and the notes are all in the wrong place. For example, when I try to play from G to C, (open, T12, T2, T0) it comes out as a chromatic scale. The slides all seem to have been replaced properly. I ran water through the horn to see if there was a blockage somewhere; that didn't appear to be the case. I've also run a snake through the lead pipe -- nothing odd there, either.
The repair shop is three hours away. This is my only horn and I have an important rehearsal on Wednesday night. I'm hoping that some of you will have suggestions about what might be wrong that will save me having to ship the horn out. (I called the repair shop and they were stumped.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can lend me.
Barbara
