Hello! Horn Call editor Bill Scharnberg has performed a great service
to all the learning young hornists by reprinting the Stephen Seiffert
article "On Tuning The Double Horn." It is an excellent article and I
have been advising its use by students for at least 30 years. Follow
it and you should be pleased with the results. It will get the
instruments into a reasonable pitch placement whereby you can then PLAY
the horn in tune. No, it won't be perfectly in tune, but it will be
tuned to a practical temperament that the player can control, use
his/her ear and fit it nicely with an ensemble. (Note: tuners provide
a tempered scale that is simply equally out of tune for every note. It
is a guide only to a pitch center for A=440, for instance. Use your
ears and learn to listen.)

My new teacher said that it is not neccesary to pull
out valve slides for new horn at all(only the main
tuning slide should be adjusted). He said that i
should adapt myself to horn, not the horn for myself..
I tuned my horn following the article in february's
Horn Call and for Bb horn there was about 1cm, and for
F - 1,5-2cm. Is it normal? And what do you think about
tuning the horn, adjusting valve slides? What methods
of tuning you know and preffer??
Thanks
