Re: Selmer Series 9 intonation

What length barrel and mouthpiece is she using?

When I used a 5RV Lyre with the 67mm and 68mm barrels I was consistantly sharp across the entire range (around 442Hz, but I could easily get 444-445Hz even with the 68mm barrel), but now I'm using a Vandoren M15 the tuning is more solid to the point where I have to work much harder to keep the pitch up, and a firm embouchure is important (plus it gives me the sound I like).

The bottom register on both my Centered Tone and Series 9 sets IS sharp in comparison to the upper and altissimo registers.
