Re: [Hornlist] tuning the horn

[Benno Heinemann]

Leaving all the Slides in is certainly not good Advice. I can think of 
one or two Exceptions of Professionals who play well who do this, but 
not for a student who may not have developed strength or good Ears to 
play all the Notes in tune in spite of it.

I like to push the main Slide all the way in, and then tune the F and B 
Slides down a little accordingly. I think it cuts out some unevenness 
just after the Leadpipe. Frank Lloyd told me this. (I believe this is 
not possible on some Horns where the F and B Horns are difficult to 
tune together)

Greetings,

That advice is so bad that you should seek another teacher.  Having the
slides tuned by an experienced player, if you're not ready to do it, is
the proper first step to learning how to do it for yourself.  I play
several horns regularly and find that I need to tune each horn as close
as possible to a standard so that my tendency to lip notes is 
consistent
from horn to horn.  Although an electronic tuner doesn't really tune 
the
horn, certain patterns are easily remembered and set.  Often, the 
player
prefers my settings to theirs because they've never given it much 
thought.

My new teacher said that it is not neccesary to pull
out valve slides for new horn at all(only the main
tuning slide should be adjusted). He said that i
should adapt myself to horn, not the horn for myself..
I tuned my horn following the article in february's
Horn Call and for Bb horn there was about 1cm, and for
F - 1,5-2cm. Is it normal? And what do you think about
tuning the horn, adjusting valve slides? What methods
of tuning you know and preffer??
Thanks
