That's not necessarily so. I think some European horns (not yours) are built deliberately with a sharp F-side G so that the Bb-side 1st valve G is in tune. On my Finke the G is solid on the F-side, but the perfect 4th from G to C is narrow. If I tune the C, the G on the F-side is sharp. Other players have also experienced this.
It's all in the taper.

Using 1 instead makes it flat on most Bb-sides, while the same note played on the F-side is no issue at all. If you tune any horn with concert "a" played on that instrument, the F-side might be sharp a bit, but the Bb-side sharper again. Why not trying to use c2 (2nd space) on the Bb-side & the F-side, played to the given concert "a" to get a better result ? A horn with a weak or flat or sharp g1 on the F-side is just a roll-over-horn (remember Stan & Oliver). ######################################################################################## Am 28.01.2011 um 14:13 schrieb Chris Wilhjelm: > > Funny thing about many 103s (and other horns with fine B flat sides) the >second line G is often more secure and in tune on the B flat side > > > c > >>>> Ralph Hall <[email protected]> 1/28/2011 5:17 AM >>> > > Ralph R.
