Hey,
I'm using a Kohlert Alto "DeLuxe" model (rolled tone holes etc), with a Rovner Eddie Daniels II ligature and Selmer C* mouthpiece.
I'm finding that with my lower octive i'll mostly find that I'm perfectly in tune.
But the second I start playing the upper octive I can find myself sometimes upto 50c sharp.
Example
If I play low G It will be completly in tune, but the second i play high G, it will be out of tune, quite majorly, according to the tuner.
I've tried adjusting the mouthpiece (pulling in and out), but i'll always find myself either sharp or flat, never in tune.
I was told by my music teacher that some of the German/Czechoslovakianmodels of that era normally played sharp in the upper register.
Any suggestions?
Thanks =D
