Re: My high B sounds the same as high c

>Etude ECL-300

There's your problem...

But seriously, this instrument is well known to be a cheap generic Chinese instrument. Instruments like this are known to have severe tuning problems. On the instrument I had (not an Etude but the exact same design. Even came in the same case) the clarion C was a quarter tone flat! The upper clarion B and C were also quite sharp on my instrument, but not to the severity of yours.

I know you probably don't want to hear this but there really isn't much you can do short of having the instrument completely re-bored. You should look into getting a better horn. Fortunately you can pick up a Selmer(Bundy) or Vito student instrument used for far less than the $249 the Etude sells for. Check your local music store or search online for refurbished instruments. If you shop around you should be able to find something for around $100.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news:(
