That is also true. It just throws me off a little bit, when I hear my horn so differently, when I'm used to hearing it for hours a day with my tone. It's also amazing to me, because I tend to be sharp, and try and try to pull the pitch down in the higher register, but no amount of moving slides will get the horn in tune. But when my professor plays the same horn, he is almost always on the slightly flat side. I couldn't get the horn that low no matter what I did.
Speaking of that... Anyone have any suggestions? I know there are different slides for the F and Bb, and they should be all proportionally pulled... But I have trouble figuring out which slide does what. I have a Hoyer 7801, and I expect it to be on the sharp side, but it's ridiculously sharp in the upper register, and always has been, even after I completely flipped my embouchure around. I pull my jaw down as far as I can before the note completely cracks, and it's still up there. If I pull the slides any farther, the mid/low register will be flat. I can't find a slide that tunes only the Bb side, they only do the F or both. Any suggestions so I'm not painfully out of tune all the time?
