<<It plays for me about 8 cents sharper then my Bb, A442.
65 barrel.......a 66 on it is still sharp... I don t recall this before.
I presume there is enough shrinkage in the wood
with non-use to cause such a change. Or is that not a reasonable
presumption..... therefore it would just it be me.>>

Dave, keep us posted as you "play the horn back in". Let us know if the
pitch drops - or rises. Interesting experiment.
