Re: Bb in the Sorcerer's Apprentice bass solo

I went back and checked. I have my neck joint pulled out ~ 3/4", which is where the horn is most in tune with groups I play, of course give or take a bit depending upon the oboist. In that position the Bb played with the long fingering is in tune pretty well whereas the side throat and the octave key are a tad (but not bad) flat.

However, if I pull the neck joint in more what you guys have observed is true. The long Bb is sharp and the throat Bb and side are in tune.

The timbre of that Bb is so different than the notes that follow I like the sound of the long Bb much better in this instance, and luckily for me, that's where my horn is in tune too.
