I would have to agree with Charles on this one. In high school, I was lucky enough to play a Mirafone(BBb) which was pretty old and had decent intonation... except for the g(under the top line) I had to pull the 1st valve slide about 3+1/2" for it to get in tune, then I thought why not try to tune the rest of the notes too. Alot of tuba players I see now play still don't use the manipulation of any slide for these purposes, but this can seperate the good players from the ok. ones. I would venture to guess 95% of the (tuba)posters here on tubenet move one slide or the other while playing. And if you want to know you're in tune, buy a tuner and check yourself.

Just my $0.02
