I've read that a few people have already expressed several times the view that Vintage Baritones can be very picky when it comes to mouthpieces. Many favour very open mouthpieces which allow the piece to be positioned fairly normally on the neck while some seem to need to be positioned so out that they almost fall off the neck (I have read and heard of people having their necks modified with extra tubing to solve this problem).
I have this early Conn Pan American stencil branded Bruno co. New York, from Bb to Eb ( Low pitch, no doubt about it ,as it is indicated on the horn) . However, I have not much experience with Baritones in general and I am having a go at this. My tuner works fine with my tenor and my alto or the occasional soprano.
Why am I telling you this? Well because if I play a F# I thought I would have a Concert A right? Like on a Alto. Well, If I play a F I have an A!:? :?
Is there something I am missing? I am prepare to put up wit this I mean it is like playing an instrument in a different key but how is this possible. Again I have read on this forum of other people with similar problems on Vinyage Baritones but the question how's it possible:? :!:
