Have you had the instrument long? I was frustrated with a new tuba purchase a few years back because it seemed to play flat. After a short time (a few weeks)it magically started playing in tune. The reality is that I had to play it differently. I have noticed that whenever I get a new horn I do a lot of pushing and pulling of the slides at first, then gradually I learn how that particular instrument plays and do a lot less slide manipulation.
