Hey!
I have a big problem with my french horn tune.. EVERY note is too flat (low) in 0.5 - 1 tone!
I don't know why, I play with a lot of air and my mouth muscle are strong I think (I can play the high C) and a week ago the tune was perfect.. :\
Some friends said that my mouthpiece is too short (Bach 11) but I play with this mouthpiece about 2 years and the tune was good.
Maybe I need to clean my horn in the bath?

Thanks for help!
Yoni

Did you leave it unattended somewhere? Maybe someone switched slides. That's just what good French Horn friends do :-)

Hmmmmm....Most student horn players tend to play sharp. This sounds like a problem for an experienced horn player or a instrument technician to help you with.
