You didn't say where you purchased the horn.  Some folks have strange ideas about the term 'overhauled'.  Your pitch problem might be due to a great number of things.  Unless you know your 'overhauler' well,  you might get a second opinion before you try to fix it with a mouthpiece.  Leaks in the tubing, water keys, or valves are the main cause of bad intonation.  Bad piston/port alignment is also a culprit.
