Klose,

The instrument was a "factory second" sold at a steep discount. The original owner mainly improvised and rarely played with others so intonation wasn't a big problem. If you played a simple scare from C5 to C6 each note would get progressively sharper at a constant rate, so it was hard to notice the problem unless you had a tuner or a good ear.

With the Hammerschmidt I had to fill every tone hole on the upper joint partially with epoxy and undercut them. I also filled in the old register vent and installed a new smaller one around 1 cm higher like you said. After this the instrument played well in tune.
