Why is my hose out of tune? I commute an hour and 15 minutes each way to work every day. Recently, I cut a piece of hose to be pitched in F. Now on my way to work I can warm-up and do a series of slurring and tonguing exercises on the hose horn. It has changed my life for the better.
I have a question for anyone who understands the physics of this. For some reason, my hose is badly out of tune. The interval between the c's (from the bass clef C to middle C and to the treble clef C) is very badly out of tune. It is naturally closer to a minor ninth than an octave without lipping it in tune (which is substantially more difficult on the hose than my horn). Why would this be? I assumed that any pipe would naturally play octaves that are in tune with themselves.
