I know that some folks find sliver key Eb/Bb on some horns to be a bit
sharp (I think) for their liking...(I'd have to get my horn out and
actually listen to make a comparison right now...it's too early in the
morning to remember something like that. Ok, so I have a kinesthetic
memory - shoot me)

The way I see it, one has to balance intonation needs with technical
needs - in a slow passage the intonation will win out - in a quicker
passage, of course, the technical needs win.
