Hi , Upon previos questions regarding fingering and tuning I have received rather complete answers.
Nevertheless there are still some question marks. The tuning recommendations by pulling out most of the slides in both Bb and F "circulation seem a bit complicated for a trumpet player, but I tend to understand that the french horn is a most other animal with a total tubing lengfh well over 12 feet. Now to my question. With a high class french horn I would expect that all slides both on the Bb side and the F side would be matched to produce perfect tuning, and not require any particular adjustments. I tend to understand , that it ies outsida the possibilities to design a french horn , that does no need tuning. On the other hand you can and will make a lot of intonation with your embochure. I am sorry for bringing up these amateurish questions, but I want to know as much as possible in order to assist my grand son.
