Does anyone have any idea why "just" shortening the tubing from Eb to F brings about these stuffy notes? It doesn't seem to have to do with bore size, either, because it seems big-bore F's still are stuffy.
Almost all french horns are difficult to play in the register between (concert) the C an octave below middle C, and the F below that. You just have to practice that register a lot, relax, and use a lot of air.
