hi chris. thanks for this info.
had a good play this afternoon. it does seem to be tuned a bit higher. the barrel is 55mm so maybe purchase of a slightly longer one would be a good idea. i guess it would have to be from C. wurlitzer? i imagine that the longer the barrel the more the instrument's relative intonation is compromised though?
i also tried a yamaha german m/p on it as well that came with a yamaha student Oehler system i got hold of recently (which is why i ended up deciding to stick with the Boehm system). don't get on with it though. being primarily a sax player i like the B45 and more open m/pieces. do you know of an equivelant german m/p? i imagine there must be a lot of guys who double in Germany as well.
i also found the auxiliary fingerings unsatisfactory re tembre and tuning. maybe the different bore means there are some alternative fingerings for the top end?
anyway i've a gig tomorrow. there are a couple of excellent (elderly) doublers in the section. i'll take it along and try to get them to play it as well.
