They're pulled all the way out and the horn's still sharp. :( With
all the slides pushed in the horn's at 452. For a European horn I
would have expected around 445. The Hoyer engineer who was there from
Germany agreed that the horn was too sharp. I think what surprised
them was that all the 5801 PMAL's there were equally sharp.

I'm curious...
I tried a couple 5802s in Macomb - both were pretty well in tune and
both were quite fine instruments. Granted, I did have the main
slides pulled about an inch each, but I wouldn't want it any other
way. (What if the orchestra tunes sharp or drifts sharp?)
Are your main slides pulled more than an inch to get the horn in
pitch?
Cheers-

Hi Laura,
I have a 5801 PMAL that I bought in December 08. The horn has a
lovely sound and great valves but it is significantly sharp. At
IHS, all of the Hoyer horns of this model (I don't know if they
checked their other models) were sharp. Hoyer is making new tuning
slides for me but I would have rather had a horn that wasn't sharp
to begin with. I would check the horn you get very carefully.
Sincerely,
Tina

I am looking at buying this model and I'm looking for any
information from anyone who has had any experience with this horn.
Any and all information would be helpful. Thank you.
