Here's the latest version of my "Speak Low" project! Lately I have been questioning the intonation of my horn, so I pulled it out again today to play this song and test things out. Comments and critique welcome. Thanks for listening.

Nice job, sounding much better (and in tune) compared to some of your previous posts.

The 'funny' (understatement) sounding backing doesn't make it easy for me to really hear the pitch of the horn well, but I think your lower register sounded pretty well The higher register seemed a bit flat at places, but I'm not the best one to judge about that.

Best is to use a tuner while checking the full range of your horn.

Thanks mrpeebee, this is possible since my mouthpiece was stuck on the cork and didn't seem to go on any further (to tune sharper) so I just gave up and played it as is.

I really need to get it very sharp by pushing it in too much and then gradually backing out until in tune. But my new neck cork is a little too fat so I should probably sand it down.

So I fixed my neck and tuned as best as I could and then played this. I changed the backing track too.

I think the tuning of your first video was way better, but I can't check it anymore because you removed it.

I put it back up for comparison.

Thanks! My memory worked well, still think you're first video sounded better and more in tune.
