Hi, I play on a Boosey & Hawkes 926 and I've been having real problems getting the different registers in tune. The throat notes are extremely sharp and also some of the lower notes,but when I pull out from the barrel everything else goes flat.

Beccy-

Any given note may be affected by pad height of the next lower note. It sounds like some of your pads may be the wrong thickness, or adjusted to the wrong height.

You may get a better idea about your problem by adjusting the barrel to tune the lowest note on the instrument, and then checking where the other notes fall.
